	Fitted equations
Author	Original	Re-scaled equations for mesquite trees
West, Brown & Enquist (1997)	$A G B = [0.0289] D_{b}^{2.67}$	$A G B = [0.0295] D_{b}^{2.67}$
Návar (2010)	$A G B = [0.0934 ρ_{w}] D_{b}^{2.38}$	$A G B = [0.0928 ρ_{w}] D_{b}^{2.38}$
Conventional	$A G B = [0.044] D_{b}^{2.46}$	$A G B = [0.0877] D_{b}^{2.30}$
Jenkins et al. (2003)	$A G B = [0.4891] D_{b}^{1.7029}$	$A G B = [0.4891] D_{b}^{1.7029}$
Chojnacky, Jenkins & Heath (2014)	$L n (A G B) = [- 2.9255 + 2.426 L n D_{b}]$	$L n (A G B) = [- 2.9255 + 2.426 L n D_{b}]$
Modified conventional	$A G B = [0.14 ρ_{w}] D_{b}^{2.18}$	$A G B = [0.0645 ρ_{w}] D_{b}^{2.47}$

Notes.

The equations originally reported by Navar et al. (2013) are for all shrub species of northern arid and semi-arid tree communities of Mexico.
