How much do trees weigh?

Question

Is there a list somewhere?

Answer 1

Weighing plants has many difficulties. Do you include below ground parts,  seeds, fruit, leaves, or just wood. Most reported results are dry weight to eliminate water weight variables. The next difficulty with trees or woody perennials is age. Very mature plants have sizes that to not permit easy handling so trees are measured according to their girth at breast height and their total height. Measurements are used to estimate biomass.

Here is a paper on Balsam fir trees dry weight depending on trunk girth, from 1 to 10 inches diameter.
