BSocial Forestry
CTree Cover
DForest Survey of India
Correct Answer: Tree CoverYour Answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option C — Tree Cover. Tree Cover is correctly identified as field inventory and remote-sensing inputs support its estimation. Tree Cover is also associated with forest cover and tree cover are reported as related but distinct measures. Another identifying fact about Tree Cover is that field inventory and remote-sensing inputs support its estimation. A further exam-relevant fact about Tree Cover is that forest cover and tree cover are reported as related but distinct measures. Why the other options are incorrect: • Option A — Joint Forest Management: Joint Forest Management is protection and regeneration of degraded forests are central activities. It is incorrect here because Joint Forest Management is instead associated with benefit sharing is linked with community participation and agreed arrangements. • Option B — Social Forestry: Social Forestry is fuelwood, fodder, small timber and environmental improvement are common objectives. It is incorrect here because Social Forestry is instead associated with it includes community-oriented plantation activities outside conventional forests. • Option D — Forest Survey of India: Forest Survey of India is it assesses and monitors the country's forest and tree resources. It is incorrect here because Forest Survey of India is instead associated with it prepares the India State of Forest Report. Exam Takeaway: Connect Tree Cover with “field inventory and remote-sensing inputs support its estimation” and “forest cover and tree cover are reported as related but distinct measures” for revision.

Important Notes

  • Tree Cover is tree patches occurring outside the area mapped as forest cover.
  • Source or location: it includes smaller tree patches and scattered trees in eligible non-forest areas.
  • Basin or course: field inventory and remote-sensing inputs support its estimation.

  • Tree Cover should not be confused with Forest Survey of India, which is a national organization under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
