Equation
As printed (Eqs. (2) and Table 4)
lnWf = a* + b* × lnD + c* × lnH; Table 4, Korean pine, System 2 (D and H): Foliage | -4.9679 | 2.6265 | -0.1735
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Foliage biomass = exp(-4.9679 + 2.6265 * ln(D) - 0.1735 * ln(H))D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
Korean pine plantations, System 2 (D and H) of Table 4: ln W = a* + b* ln D + c* ln H, natural logarithm, coefficients as printed (a*, b*, c*). No correction factor is stated in the paper, none applied. n and D/H ranges from Table 2 (sample statistics of the fitted trees). Stem includes bark; roots exclude fine roots <5 mm. No R2 recorded (adjusted R2 only).
