The woody biomass energy is considered as one of the way to use the timber offcuts. In this thesis, the abundance of the woody biomass and the amount of carbon stock are calculated according to the survey of the felling records of national and private forest areas, in the Chubu Sangaku area of Nagano prefecture.
