Function: agb.model
Function Description: agb.model
Calculates biomass from density, height, and dbh. Requires just two parameters, following Chave (2005). The parameters can be changed, but the formula cannot be. Returns a vector of biomass as long as vector of dbh submitted. This is called by Chave.AGB in the standard calculation of biomass for CTFS R tables.Function Arguments:
| Argument | Default Value |

Sample Usage:
agb.model(dbh=c(1,1,2),density=c(.6,.6,.5),height=c(2,3,4),param=c(.0501,1))
Function Source:
agb.model=function(dbh,density,height,param)
return(param[1]*(density*dbh^2*height)^param[2])
return(param[1]*(density*dbh^2*height)^param[2])
