Equation

As printed (Table 2, Castanea sativa, Stem row)

Ws = 0.0142 · d² · h

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

Stem biomass = 0.0142 * D^2 * H
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
H
Total tree height, m

Stem with bark (commercial volume, up to a top diameter of 7 cm); fitted jointly with the branch equations by SUR to keep components additive. Stand type is not stated per species in the paper. Branch equations for this species are not added.
