== Types of Forest ==
There are a wide variety of forests due to different species, terrains and climates. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it will give you a decent basic run-down of the common varieties.

*'''Coniferous Forest''' Conifers such as pine trees as a rule are better able to handle colder climates. As such, in places like Northern Canada or Siberia they often predominate.
*'''Deciduous Forest''' Broad leaved plants such as Oaks and Ashes have an advantage over Pine Trees in terms of photosynthetic efficiency. The downside of which is that these leaves can't take frosts and shedding leaves to regrow them is costly. As such, in warmer climates they mostly edge out the pines.
*'''Bamboo forest''' Bamboo is a type of large-scale grass. It grows quickly, but after it flowers and sheds it's seeds it dies. Fairly well established in East Asia.
*'''Rainforest''' Trees grow very well in places where there is a lot of water. Get a lot of water and you can get some impressive tree growth. Most famously there are Tropical Rainforests, but there are also temperate rainforests like those in British Columbia.
*'''Mangrove Forest''' partially submerged forest, usually in swampland, where mangrove trees thrive and small creatures find shelter in the trees' roots.
*'''Redwood Forest''' tallest trees in the world, so naturally their forests are quite large and form an enormous canopy.
