In the 1980s, space satellites were deployed for remote sensing of real forest cover. Standards were introduced to classify India's forests into the following categories:

Forest Cover: defined as all lands, more than one hectare in area, with a tree canopy density of more than 10 percent. (Such lands may or may not be statutorily notified as forest area).
Very Dense Forest: All lands, with a forest cover with canopy density of 70 percent and above
Moderately Dense Forest: All lands, with a forest cover with canopy density of 40–70 percent
Open Forest: All lands, with forest cover with canopy density of ten to forty percent
Mangrove Cover: Mangrove forest is salt tolerant forest ecosystem found mainly in tropical and sub-tropical coastal and/or inter-tidal regions. Mangrove cover is the area covered under mangrove vegetation as interpreted digitally from remote sensing data. It is a part of forest cover and also classified into three classes viz. very dense, moderately dense and open.
Non Forest Land: defined as lands without any forest cover
Scrub Cover: All lands, generally in and around forest areas, having bushes and or poor tree growth, chiefly small or stunted trees with canopy density less than 10 percent
Tree Cover: Land with tree patches (blocks and linear) outside the recorded forest area exclusive of forest cover and less than the minimum mapable area of one hectare
Trees Outside Forests: Trees growing outside Recorded Forest Areas.

Hope it will help.
