3 Reasons for change detected in 2011 Assessment Changes reported in current assessment which have been validated through ground truthing of selected sample points in the field, are mainly due to plantation activities and regeneration of forests owing to protection measures taken by the SFD. The change matrix reveals that there has been an increase of 18 km2 in the moderately dense forest and 65 km2 in open forest whereas there is no change reported in the very dense category.

As per this assessment, the state has five forest types which belong to two forest type groups, viz. Tropical Moist Deciduous and Tropical Dry Deciduous s. Percentage-wise distribution of forest cover in different forest type groups found in the state is given in the pie diagram.

4 Tree cover Tree cover of the state has been estimated using TOF inventory data collected over a period of six years, i.e The estimated tree cover in the state is 2,914 km2 which is 3.66% of its geographical area. Six districts of the state (Deoghar, Dhanbad, Giridih, Gumla, Koderma and Ranchi) have been inventoried. and Tree Cover Category Area % of Geographical Area Tree Cover 2, Cover 22, & Tree Cover 25, Growing Stock The growing stock in the recorded forest area has been estimated on the basis of the current forest cover map, forest type map and forest inventory data.
