coefficient g: 0.0201, coefficient h: 2.1127, R2: 0.9380

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

Foliage biomass = 0.0201 * D30^2.1127
D30
Stem diameter at 30 cm, cm

Form Y = g X^h, no correction factor stated. The paper does not state units in the text; DBH in cm and biomass in kg are read from Table 2 and the axis labels of Figures 2 and 3. The DBH range of the 13 harvested trees is not stated (Table 2 describes the stand), so no range is given. Young natural regeneration: the stand census in Table 2 ran from 2.7 to 9.4 cm DBH and the stand was under 10 m tall (Section 2.1).
