Allometry Relation for Tree-Trunk Diameter and Height

Tree allometry establishes quantitative relations between tree-trunk diameter and height.

The height of a tree is proportional to the diameter to the 0.535 power.

Formula

QuantityVariable["H", "Height"] == Quantity[20.6`3., "Meters"]*(Quantity[1, "Meters"^(-1)]*QuantityVariable["D", "Diameter"])^0.535
