As printed (Table 5)

Magadan Oblast Stem 3.9–52.8 43 0.066 0.014 2.493 0.068 40.934; Y = a × DBH^b, Y in kg dry weight, DBH in cm

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

Stem biomass = 0.066 * D^2.493
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm

Coefficients as printed in Table 5 (3 decimals); no log back-transform because fitted by weighted nonlinear regression. 'Stem' is the stem row (the table also lists stem wood and stem bark separately; the contract has no output for those).
