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.
Introduction. The boreal forest (also known as the taiga, a russian word meaning swampy moist forest) is found in a nearly continuous belt across North America and Eurasia. Most of Canada and Russia are covered by coniferous trees that make up this biome.This biome is defined mainly by the trees that compose it.The climax trees are furs, spruces and pines. Subclimax plant communities may have deciduous trees like larch, tamarack and birch.ost of Canada and Russia are covered by coniferous trees that make up this biome.
