Equation

As printed (Table 4, model 2)

B̂i = 0.03384 * (D² * H)^0.9774

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

Aboveground biomass = 0.03384 * (D^2 * H)^0.9774
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H
Total tree height, m

R2adj 0.974. Total aboveground biomass (stem, branches, foliage, cones). No back-transformation correction factor is stated, none applied.
