Broadly speaking, there are three major forest zones that are separated according to their distance from the equator. These are:
the tropical,
temperate,
and boreal forests (taiga)
the tropical forest -A tropical forest is a type of forestfound in areas with high regular rainfall and no more than two months of low rainfall, and consisting of a completely closed canopy of trees that prevents penetration of sunlight to the ground and discourages ground-cover growth.
temperate forest- woodland of a usually rather mild climatic area within the temperate zone that receives heavy rainfall, usually includes numerous kinds of trees, and is distinguished from a tropical rain forestespecially by the presence of a dominant tree.
taiga forest - 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 northern circumpolar forested regions characterized by long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation
