Equation

As printed (Abstract; Table 5, model H2)

H = [− 5.2544 + (6.8603 × ln (dbh))]

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

Height = -5.2544 + 6.8603 * ln(D)
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm

H is total height excluding the 0.10 m stump. R2 0.928 (adj. 0.921), RMSE 1.46 printed in Table 5. Selected as best height-diameter model by the authors.
