Equation

As printed (Table 2, Model 3)

1/H = a + b (1/D) ... 0.024 ... 0.643

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

Height = 1 / (0.024 + 0.643 / D)
D
Diameter at breast height (1.3 m), cm

r2 here is the adjusted R2 (0.617) as printed in Table 2; RSE printed as 0.011 (on 1/H scale), left out. Range from the sampling description (98 model-development trees, 9–52 cm and 9–37 m).
