Compatible total-biomass system (aboveground fitted independently, total and root fitted jointly by simultaneous estimation; weighted nonlinear least squares). Total = aboveground + root. The paper lists the sample as stratified random felled trees across eight diameter classes (4-32 cm) from 2022-2023; the reported minimum and maximum DBH and height are for all sampled trees of the species (Table 1). Root biomass was measured on a subset only (whole-root excavation: root collar, coarse roots, fine roots), so root and total fit ranges are not given beyond the full sample. No back-transform factor (nonlinear fit). The paper also gives aboveground-component (stem, crown, wood, bark, branch, foliage) systems (Tables 17-39), not added here. Eq. 35 prints C0 as 0.0927573 while Table 10 prints 0.092757; Table 10 is used."}
