In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Aboveground biomass = 0.05251 * D^2.40238 * H^0.38285D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
Weighted nonlinear power model, so no back-transform correction applies. AGB is the total of stem, bark, large branches, small branches and leaves (Table 3), so foliage is included. Adjusted R² is printed in Table 4 but is not stored.
