As printed (Table 2, model 2)

y = 0.175D2.350

In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)

Aboveground biomass = 0.175 * D^2.35
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm

About 10-year-old stand. AGB is the sum of stem, branch and leaf dry mass. The paper also prints linear, exponential and logarithmic fits (Table 2) but rejects them (negative predictions for small trees); only the power model, which the authors select, is included.
