Study Notes

Forest and Ecology

Tarn rorest land includes areas recorded as forest in government records, regardless of ownership.
Save a tree; please don't print this unless you really need to!

Plant Nutrition

Iron is a macronutrient, primary nutrient, and secondary nutrient in plant nutrition.

Forest Crops and Silviculture

The art and science of cultivating forest crops is called forest culture, monoculture, or silviculture.

Climax and Primary Succession

A climax caused by wildfires is an example of catastrophic climax, not climatic climax.
The correct sequence of lithosere primary succession is: Rock → Crustose lichen → Foliose lichen → Moss → Shrub → Woodland → Climax.

Forestry and Productivity

The study of life history and general features of forest crops with respect to environmental factors is called forestry or silviculture.
Practical application of scientific, technical, and economic principles of forestry comes under forest mensuration, not forest protection.
Net primary productivity is given by APAR x LUE.

Soil and Weathering

Regur is a type of alluvial soil, not red and yellow soil.
Carbonation is an example of physical weathering, not biological weathering.
Bangar is a type of black cotton soil.
Cryofracturing is an example of physical weathering, not chemical or biological weathering.
In soil profile, C refers to the organic surface layer, not topsoil or subsoil layer.
Vertical arrangement of soil horizon is called soil profile, not soil texture.

Forest Measurement and Sampling

For a tree with dbh = 45.6 cm, height = 27 m, and total stem volume of 1.78 cum, the artificial form factor for the tree is: 0.1.
The correct statement is: For a non-circular cross-section, girth tape under-estimates the sectional area.
A tree has dbh of 25 cm, and its basal area is 0.049 m².
Systematic sampling employs a simple rule of selecting every k-th unit starting with a number chosen at random from 1 to k as the random start.

Forest Types and Values

Tropical moist forests do not include semi-evergreen forests.
The value derived from the knowledge of use of resources by others in the current generation is called bequest value.
Montane sub-tropical forests do not include broad-leaved forests, pine forests, or dry evergreen forests.
The term 'forest' originates from Latin "foris," meaning outside or forest, not Greek "lons" meaning trees.

Surveying and LiDAR

Plane surveying takes into account the true shape of the Earth and is used for smaller areas (< 250 sq km), not larger areas (> 250 sq km).
Geodetic surveying takes into account the true shape of the Earth and is used for larger areas (> 250 sq km), not smaller areas.
IMU stands for Inertial Measurement Unit, not Imperial metering unit or Imperial measurement unit.
The time of flight for LiDAR is 0.001 sec, and the distance of the object from the instrument is 150 m.

Wildlife Protection

In the context of the Wildlife Protection Act 1972, the trap is a weapon, and capturing is hunting.
