How about using paste() inside the jpeg() function to append a '.jpg' to
the
end of your species name?
See the change below. I also added a dev.off() to close the newly created
jpeg.
species.name="CussoniaHolstii"
dia<-10:100
biomass = -21.4863 + 0.5797 * (dia ^ 2)
biomass
jpeg(paste(species.name, '.jpg', sep = '')
plot (biomass, main=species.name, xlab="dbh in cm", ylab="biomass
in kg")
dev.off()
