In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Aboveground biomass = 0.0229 * (D^2 * H)^1.008D- 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. AGB is leaf + branch + stem (aboveground, foliage included).
