Forests of India Questions and Answers – Page 2

Correct Answer: Option B — Tree Cover. Tree Cover is correctly identified as it includes smaller tree patches and scattered trees in eligible non-forest areas. Tree Cover is also associated with field inventory and remote-sensing inputs support its estimation. 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 it was formally promoted nationally through guidelines issued in 1990. It is incorrect here because Joint Forest Management is instead associated with protection and regeneration of degraded forests are central activities. • Option C — Social Forestry: Social Forestry is plantations may be raised on community land, roadsides, canal banks and other available sites. It is incorrect here because Social Forestry is instead associated with fuelwood, fodder, small timber and environmental improvement are common objectives. • Option D — Forest Survey of India: Forest Survey of India is its headquarters is in Dehradun. It is incorrect here because Forest Survey of India is instead associated with it assesses and monitors the country's forest and tree resources. Exam Takeaway: Connect Tree Cover with “it includes smaller tree patches and scattered trees in eligible non-forest areas” and “field inventory and remote-sensing inputs support its estimation” for revision.

Correct Answer: Option A — Tree Cover. Tree Cover is correctly identified as tree patches occurring outside the area mapped as forest cover. Tree Cover is also associated with it includes smaller tree patches and scattered trees in eligible non-forest areas. 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 B — Joint Forest Management: Joint Forest Management is a participatory approach involving forest departments and local communities. It is incorrect here because Joint Forest Management is instead associated with it was formally promoted nationally through guidelines issued in 1990. • Option C — Social Forestry: Social Forestry is forestry intended to meet community needs and reduce pressure on natural forests. It is incorrect here because Social Forestry is instead associated with plantations may be raised on community land, roadsides, canal banks and other available sites. • Option D — Forest Survey of India: Forest Survey of India is a national organization under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.

Exam Takeaway: Connect Tree Cover with “tree patches occurring outside the area mapped as forest cover” and “it includes smaller tree patches and scattered trees in eligible non-forest areas” for revision.

Correct Answer: Option D — Forest Cover. Forest Cover is correctly identified as forest cover should not be confused with recorded forest area. Forest Cover is also associated with a satellite-observed land-cover concept rather than only a legal forest category. Another identifying fact about Forest Cover is that canopy density and minimum mapping area are important assessment criteria. A further exam-relevant fact about Forest Cover is that forest cover should not be confused with recorded forest area. Why the other options are incorrect: • Option A — Tree Cover: Tree Cover is forest cover and tree cover are reported as related but distinct measures. It is incorrect here because Tree Cover is instead associated with tree patches occurring outside the area mapped as forest cover. • Option B — Joint Forest Management: Joint Forest Management is benefit sharing is linked with community participation and agreed arrangements. It is incorrect here because Joint Forest Management is instead associated with a participatory approach involving forest departments and local communities. • Option C — Social Forestry: Social Forestry is it includes community-oriented plantation activities outside conventional forests. It is incorrect here because Social Forestry is instead associated with forestry intended to meet community needs and reduce pressure on natural forests. Exam Takeaway: Connect Forest Cover with “forest cover should not be confused with recorded forest area” and “a satellite-observed land-cover concept rather than only a legal forest category” for revision.

Correct Answer: Option B — Forest Cover. Forest Cover is correctly identified as FSI assessment includes qualifying tree-covered land regardless of ownership or legal status. Forest Cover is also associated with canopy density and minimum mapping area are important assessment criteria.
