Equation

As printed (Table 5, model 2)

B̂i = 0.01532 * (D² * H)^1.0958

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

Aboveground biomass = 0.01532 * (D^2 * H)^1.0958
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H
Total tree height, m

R2adj 0.979. The authors' statistically best model for Q. resinosa is the Box-Cox model 4, not added. Total aboveground biomass (stem, branches, foliage). No back-transformation correction factor is stated, none applied.
