Pinus tabuliformis / Aboveground biomass
Chinese pine aboveground biomass from DBH (age-sequence plantations)

In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)
Aboveground biomass = 0.7735 * D^1.6736D- Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm
M = aD^b. Power model M = aD^b (or a(D²H)^b) fitted by non-linear least squares (no log back-transform). Sample trees were 60 destructively harvested trees from stands aged 8, 18, 32 and 46 years; the paper does not give the DBH or height range of the sample trees (Table 1 gives stand means only), so none is given. Roots are coarse roots (>5 mm), so the root and total-tree equations leave out fine roots. The third form in Table 3, M = aD^b A^c, needs stand age (not a canonical variable) and is not added. Aboveground biomass was calculated as the sum of stem, branch and foliage biomass.

Shaded: the DBH range the model was fitted on. Other inputs held at the values above.
On every build, the library's form and the paper's own form (in its units) must both give these values within 1%.
| Inputs | Expected | We get | From |
