In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Root biomass = 0.006 * (D^2 * H)^0.941D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
W = dry weight in kg (Table 7 in kg), D = DBH in cm, H = tree height in m. The paper prints no correction factor, so none is applied. Only 21 of the 40 trees were excavated for roots; the paper does not state n or the DBH/height range for this equation, so they are omitted.
