Different Types of Forests in the World
There are many types of forests but only three main types of forests that are explained briefly below:
Evergreen Forests :
An evergreen forest is a forest consisting entirely or mainly of evergreen trees that retain green foliage all year round.Evergreen forests are usually found in areas receiving more than 200 cm of rainfall and having a temperature of 15 °C to 30 °C.They occupy about seven per cent of the Earth’s surface and harbour more than half of the world’s plants and animals. They are found mostly near the equatorThese forests are dense, mulch-layered and harbour many types of plants and animals. The trees in an evergreen forest have broad leaves that release excess water through transpiration.In India, evergreen forests are found in the Western Ghats in the states of Maharashtra, Kerala and Karnataka.
Deciduous Forests :
Forests where a majority of the trees lose their foliage at the end of the typical growing season are called deciduous forests.Deciduous forests are found in several parts of the world including North America, Europe, New- Zealand, Australia, and Asia. These forests go through a lot of seasonal changes and are specially adapted to withstand these environmental changes throughout the year.Trees found in a deciduous forest vary by region, but generally include species such as oak, beech,walnut, maple, chestnut and hickory.
Coniferous Forests :
Coniferous forests are made up mainly of cone-bearing or coniferous trees, such as spruces, hemlocks, pines and firs. The leaves of these trees are either small and needle-like or scale-like and most stay green all year around.Coniferous forests are found mainly in the northern hemisphere, although some are found in the southern hemisphere.Coniferous trees thrive where summers are short and cool and winters long and harsh.

Name vegetation and wildlife of deciduous Forester?it was very shot answers questions?
Vegetation is an assemblage of plant species and the ground cover they provide.[2] It is a general term, without specific reference to particular taxa, life forms, structure, spatialextent, or any other specific botanical or geographic characteristics.
A wide variety of mammals, birds, insects, and reptiles can be found in a deciduous forest biome. Mammals that are commonly found in a deciduous forest include bears, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, wood mice, and, in the U.S., deer can be found in these forests.
