What are types of forest explain about them brainly?
Answers
There are four different types of forests found around the world:
1. Tropical Forests:- Tropical forests are found between the line of cancer and the line of Capricorn that is both 23.5 degree north and south of equator. Tropical forests can be divided into Evergreen forests and deciduous forests. Tropical Evergreen forests or rain forests have super hot temperatures all year long and get up to 80 inches (2000 mm) of rain a year and relative humidity is uniformly high. Tropical rainforests are located near the equator.
2. Temperate Forests:- Temperate forests can be divided into deciduous, coniferous forests, mixed, and Broad-leaved Evergreen. Deciduous forests are found on the Southern side of Boreal forests, i.e., Eastern United States, Canada, Europe, China and Japan. These forests are found mostly between 30 degree to 50 degree North Latitude which includes the Eastern United States, Europe, Western Turkey, Eastern Iran, Western China, and Japan.
3. Boreal Forests:-Boreal forests often get less rain than the other forests and are home to evergreen trees, which stay green all year long. This is because they have needles, which don’t need as much water as regular tree leaves. Boreal forests are only in the Northern Hemisphere and can be found in the high latitudes of North America and Eurasia where they are found from Scandinavia to eastern Siberia.

4. Plantation Forests:-There are around 140 million hectares of “plantation forests” in the world, accounting for around 7% of global forest cover. The productivity of planted forests, in terms of supplying a sustainable volume of timber and fibre, is usually greater than natural forests. Plantations produce around 40% of industrial wood. Both the plantation area and contribution to world wood production are projected to continue to increase in the foreseeable future.
