Answer:
Forest is a type of Habitat or Biome which has high density of Trees. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) defines Forest as a land with Tree crown cover (or equivalent stocking level) of more than 10% and area of more than 0.5 hectare. The Forest is in fact a complex ecosystem with distinct interrelationships of non living organisms (the plants, animals, micro-organisms) and the non-living, inorganic or abiotic part (soil, climate, water, organic debris, rocks) of an environment. Forests can develop wherever there is an average temperature greater than about 10° C in the warmest month and an annual rainfall in excess of about 200 mm annually. Forests houses over two-thirds of known terrestrial Species of the World. There are various type of Forests of which the Tropical Rainforests are located at latitudes of 10° north and south of the Equator and the latitudes between 53°N and 67°N have Boreal Forests. Over 30% of the Earth's surface is covered with Forests in modern times where as once they covered 50% of total surface of the World. This has happened mainly because of Deforestation caused by Human need for wood, food, housing etc.

Forests have been classified in different ways. They have been classified according to the Biomes in which they exist, combined with leaf longevity of the dominant Species i.e. whether they are evergreen or deciduous. Another Classification is classified whether the Forests are composed predominantly of Broad-Leaf Trees, Coniferous (needle-leaved) Trees, or Mixed.
