Fagus moesiaca / Foliage biomass
Fagus moesiaca total foliage dry biomass, DBH and height (Eq. 4)
© Igor Balashov · CC BY · iNaturalistAs printed (Eq. 4, p. 442)
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Foliage biomass = 0.0001997 * D^2 * H + 0.331D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
D is DBH at 1.3 m; H is measured total height. Parentheses in the paper give standard errors, not multiplication terms. This original-scale equation needs no log back-transform correction. The authors say adding height improved foliage predictions. Total foliage includes crown and epicormic foliage. The DBH range retained here is the methods' explicit 5.19–40.6 cm range (p. 441); the comparison section describes a largest Greek tree of 41.45 cm (p. 446). That sample-description discrepancy is not used to extend the reported range. No fitted height bounds are supplied.

Shaded: the DBH range the model was fitted on. Other inputs held at the values above.
On every build, the library's form and the paper's own form (in its units) must both give these values within 1%.
| Inputs | Expected | We get | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| D = 20, H = 15 | 1.53 | 1.53 | Computed from the printed form Computed from the printed equation; the sampled trees' height range is not reported. |
