As printed (Table 3 (RSE in kg for untransformed models))

Euterpe AGB Hstem -108.81 13.589 0.973 8 8.37

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

Aboveground biomass = -108.81 + 13.589 * Hstem
Hstem
Palm stem height, ground to the lowest leaf, m

Linear in stem height (Hstem, m); only valid within the fitted Hstem range 10.2–20.4 m (negative below about 8 m). n = 8.
