Is there a calculation for the amount of force that is produced by tree growth. I am interested in a formula or a calculation that will result in the force of growth in the diameter of a tree?

Greetings Jim:

Might I suggest contacting the forest product scientists at the USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, WI.
