Abstract
India's forest resources are rapidly diminishing. A number of studies on the loss of tropical rain forests in third-world nations have recently been published. Because there are few thorough and holistic research on long-term forest cover change, there is still a lot of ambiguity about the state of global forest cover. The purpose of this study is to create a multi-date forest cover database that characterizes and quantifies historical and current changes in India's natural forests. This study made it easier to figure out how the condition of Indian forest cover has changed over the past eight decades. We mapped the total area covered by forest cover, assessed the spatial tracking of changes in natural forests, estimated the rate of deforestation and afforestation, examined forest cover change by biogeographic zone and state, existing land use in deforested areas, the impact of environmental factors such as terrain on deforestation, and the implications of different definitions of forested areas.
