Equations / Aboveground biomass
Norway spruce, Czech Republic: Total aboveground biomass from D (Table 2)
© Douglas Goldman · CC BY-SA · iNaturalistAs printed (Table 2 and Eq. 2, p. 113 and p. 110)
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Aboveground biomass = exp(-1.95298 + 2.35768 * ln(D)) * 0.986D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
Coefficients, R2 and lambda as printed in Table 2 (lambda per Marklund 1987, Eq. 3, already multiplied in). H/D is slenderness ratio, tree height (m) over DBH (cm). Not recommended for trees with D < 7 cm. Table 2 also gives models with site index (SI) or tree age (A) and crown biomass models, not added here (no canonical variable for SI or A; crown has no output quantity).

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 = 10 | 31.9 | 31.9 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form (coefficients as printed) |
| D = 25 | 276.4 | 276.4 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form (coefficients as printed) |
| D = 45 | 1,105 | 1,105 | Computed from the printed form computed from the published form (coefficients as printed) |
