An evergreen forest contains trees that retain their foliage year-round, primarily broadleaf evergreens in the tropics and coniferous evergreens in temperate and boreal regions. These forests experience high humidity, stable temperatures, and frequent low-level cloud cover, supporting moist, montane, mossy, laurel, and cloud forests where mosses often cover the ground and vegetation.

An evergreen forest is a forest consisting entirely or mainly
ofevergreen trees that retain green foliage all year round.
Such forests reign the tropics primarily as broadleaf evergreens, and in temperateand boreal latitudes primarily as coniferous evergreens. Moist forest, montane forest,mossy forests, Laurel forest, cloud forest,fog forest, are generally tropical or subtropical or mild temperate evergreen forest, found in areas with high humidity and relatively stable and mild temperatures, characterized by a persistent, frequent or seasonal low-level cloud cover, usually at the canopy level. Cloud forests often exhibit an abundance of mosses covering the ground and vegetation.
Deciduous forests can be found in the eastern half of North America, and the middle of Europe. There are many deciduous forests in Asia. Some of the major areas that they are in are southwest Russia, Japan, and eastern China. South America has two big areas of deciduous forests in southern Chile and Middle East coast of Paraguay. There are deciduous forests located in New Zealand, and southeastern Australia also. The average annual temperature in a deciduous forest is 50 F. The average rainfall is 30 to 60 inches a year. In deciduous forests there are five different zones. The first zone is the Tree Stratum zone. The Tree Stratum zone contains such trees as oak, beech, maple, chestnut hickory, elm, basswood, linden, walnut, and sweet gum trees. This zone has height ranges between 60 feet and 100 feet.
