Answer:
1. Tropical Evergreen Forest. These forests are very dense and are found in areas near the equator and are close to the tropics. These areas receive heavy rainfall throughout the year. These forest trees do not shed their leaves completely and hence they remain green all the time. Hardwood trees such as rosewood, ebony and mahogany are found here.
2. Tropical deciduous forest. These forests are found in areas that experience seasonal changes.
3. Temperate evergreen forests. These precursors are commonly found along the eastern margin of the continents.
4. Temperate deciduous forest. The trees in these forests shed their leaves in the dry 'season'. Oak, ash, beech etc.
5. Mediterranean Vegetation. It is mostly found in areas around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, Africa and Asia. Citrus fruits like oranges, figs, olives and grapes.
6. Coniferous Forests. They are also called taiga. They are tall, soft-wood evergreen trees.
