### NZ shrubland shrubs and small trees, dry weight from basal area x height

Aboveground biomass for Shrubland shrubs and small trees, all species (Kunzea ericoides, Leptospermum scoparium, Ulex europaeus, Cytisus scoparius and others), New Zealand. Inputs: Root collar diameter + Height. 162 trees.

As printed (Eq. 1 and Figure 3 caption):

> Dry weight = exp(a • ln(basal area • height) + b) ... fitted on the entire harvested shrub dataset with a = 1.0215 and b = 6.1512
