The Table 3 CF (1.0193) is applied in both forms. Table 3 caption says RMSE is in kg but the body values (about 0.2) are log-scale (CF 1.0193 matches exp(0.196²/2)), so the body is followed and rse is not stored. Table 3 gives no DBH range for the 25 calibration trees, so none is stored. Row label \"Acacia\" in Table 3 maps to this taxon."}
