The document describes the three major types of forests: tropical forests located near the equator with plants like orchids and animals like jaguars; temperate forests which receive more rainfall and include coniferous, broadleaved, and mixed forests with plants like oak and animals like foxes; and boreal or taiga forests located in northern regions with long cold winters and coniferous trees like pine and animals such as moose and wolves.

2.  Forests are large areas covered with plants.
 Forests covers about one-third of our planet.
 Different types of plants and animals are found in
forests.
 There are three major types of forests on earth: tropical,
temperate, and boreal.

3.  Tropical forests, also known as rainforests, are found
between the equator and the two tropics(Tropic of cancer
and Tropic of Capricorn).
 The temperate of these forest ranges from 20℃ to 34℃.
 These regions receive heavy rain fall throughout the year;
the annual rainfall is more than 200cm.
Plants: Orchid, Vine, Moss, and Fern.
Animals: Jaguar, Gorilla, Monkey, Macaw and Toucan.

4.  There are many types of temperate forests, but the main categories
are: coniferous forests, mixed broadleaved/ coniferous forests, and
broadleaved forests.
 Some temperate forests receive so much rain they are sometimes
called rainforests! The great Douglas fir and hemlock forests of the
United States' Pacific Northwest and Canada's British Colombia
receive more than 2,000 mm of rain a year. They are dominated by
coniferous trees.
 Another type of temperate, evergreen rainforest occurs in Chile,
South America. Here there is a great diversity of broadleaved trees
including the Southern Beech.
 Plants: Maple ,Oak , and Elm
 Animals: Fox , Bald Eagle, Bobcat

5.  Taiga, also called boreal forest, biome (major life zone) of
vegetation composed primarily of cone-bearing, needle-leaved, or
scale-leaved evergreen trees, found in regions that have long
winters and moderate to high annual precipitation.
 The taiga, “land of the little sticks” in Russian, takes its name from
the collective term for the northern forests of Russia, especially
Siberia.
 The taiga, which is also known as the boreal (meaning northern)
forest region, occupies about 17 percent of Earth’s land surface
area in a circumpolar belt of the far Northern Hemisphere.
 Plants: Evergreen Trees like Pine, Fir, and Spurce
 Animals: Wolf, Lynx, Fox, Deer,
Hare, Bat Bear, Moose, and Chimpmunks.
