Forest

A Forest is a an area of land with a lot of trees in close proximity, creating a canopy overhead. Forests have been one of the most common Biomes on Earth since the Devonian Period.

Types of Forest

• Coniferous Forest Conifers such as pine trees as a rule are better able to handle colder climates.
• Deciduous Forest Broad leaved plants such as Oaks and Ashes have an advantage over Pine Trees in terms of photosynthetic efficiency. The downside of which is that these leaves can't take frosts and shedding leaves to regrow them is costly.
• Bamboo forest Bamboo is a type of fast growing grass. It grows quickly, but after it flowers and sheds it's seeds it dies.
• Rain-forest Trees grow very well in places where there is a lot of water.
