Fagus moesiaca / Aboveground biomass
Fagus moesiaca total aboveground dry biomass, DBH (Table III lnMT)
© Igor Balashov · CC BY · iNaturalistAs printed (Table III, model in caption and lnMT row, p. 442)
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Aboveground biomass = 1.0171 * exp(-1.3816 + 2.3485 * ln(D))D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
D is DBH at 1.3 m. Multiply by Table III's CF once; it equals exp(SEE²/2), although the text calls SEE²/2 CF. Total aboveground biomass includes the measured foliage. The retained 5.19–40.6 cm range is explicitly reported in the methods (p. 441); the later comparison describes a largest Greek tree of 41.45 cm (p. 446). That sample-description discrepancy is not used to extend the reported range.

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 | 290 | 290 | Computed from the printed form Computed from Table III coefficients and CF. |
