Foliage biomass = 0.000802 * (rho * D * H)^2.18rho- Wood density (oven-dry mass / green volume), g/cm³
D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H- Total tree height, m
Power-law fit; the paper states coefficients are back-transformed from the log-log OLS fit and prints no correction factor, so none is applied. Site-level model for the Letkhokkon delta mangrove (Ayeyarwady delta region), Myanmar. Wood density rho is per-tree basic density measured on trunk discs (species means: 0.557 g/cm3 Ao, 0.471 g/cm3 Sa).
