Equations / Foliage biomass
Oak foliage biomass from D, additive system 1 (Table 4)
Foliage biomassQuercus (Q. mongolica and Q. wutaishanica) · FagaceaeChinanaturalRead from the original paper
Fitted on these 2 species: Quercus mongolica, Quercus wutaishanica
Equation
As printed (Table 4, System 1)
Foliage Wfo = 0.019D1.964
In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Foliage biomass = 0.019 * D^1.964D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
Fitted on 120 Mongolian oak and 39 Liaodong oak trees (Table 1; D 1.5-33.0 cm). Exponents are printed flattened in the HTML text; read as D^exponent. No R2 recorded (adjusted R2 only).
