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.
