- Carbon Pools in Indian Forests (ISFR-2021):
- Total carbon stock in Indian forests is estimated at $7,204\text{ million tonnes}$.
- Distribution across carbon pools:
- Soil Organic Carbon (SOC): Represents the largest single pool, accounting for $\approx 56.1\%$ ($4,010\text{ Mt}$).
- Above-ground + Below-ground biomass: Accounts for $\approx 41.1\%$ ($2,961\text{ Mt}$).
- Litter: $\approx 1.8\%$ ($180\text{ Mt}$).
- Dead Wood: Accounts for the smallest fraction, $\approx 0.6\%$ ($46\text{ Mt}$).
- Correct Sequence: Soil organic carbon > above + below ground biomass > litter > dead wood. (Correct answer: Option 4)
