Forest Biome. Forest is a broad term used to describe areas where there are a large number of trees. Depending on the type of trees in that area forests can be further divided into five main categories. These are: coniferous forest, deciduous forest, mixed leaved forest, Mediterranean forest, and tropical rainforests.
The temperate rainforest is a biome that has a canopy of trees that shuts out at least 70% of the sky, and the forest is mainly made up of species of trees that don't need fire to regenerate, but they can regenerate under shade and in natural openings in the canopy because of seedlings.
