(2) The total biomass for a biomass sample tree or a test tree is to be calculated using the following formula:
| | Equation 30A |
| = | total biomass for the biomass sample tree or test tree, in kilograms of dry matter. |
|---|---|
| = | the number of aboveground biomass components within the biomass sample tree or test tree. |
| = | biomass for aboveground biomass component , in kilograms of dry matter, calculated in accordance with Equation 31. |
