120  Calculating total biomass for trees—default root:shoot ratio
 (1) This section applies if the default root:shoot ratio option has been chosen under section 73.
 (2) The total biomass for a biomass sample tree or a test tree is to be calculated using the following formula:
   Equation 30A

  where:
 =  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.

 Note: The factor of 1.2 incorporates the default root:shoot ratio of 0.2.
