One of the major characteristics of tropical forests is their distinct seasonality: winter is absent‚ and only two seasons are present (rainy and dry). An evergreen forest is a forest consisting entirely or mainly of evergreen trees that retain green foliage all year round. Such forests reign the tropics

Temperate forests correspond to forest concentrations formed in the northern and southern hemisphere‚ or in temperate regions. Main characteristics include: wide leaves‚ large and tall trees and non seasonal vegetation. Temperate forests can be further distinguished by weatherpatterns and geographical features that favor the predominance of certain kinds of trees. In temperate coniferous forests‚ evergreen coniferspredominate‚ while in temperate broadleaf and mixed forests‚ a more even distribution

Deciduous Forests INTRODUCTION A deciduous forest‚ simply described is a forest that is leafless during the winter. Eury species make up this type of forest‚ meaning that the species can tolerate a wide range of conditions. In the extreme northern latitudes‚ the growing season is short causing the trees to be leafless the majority of the year. The deciduous forest is subjected to distinct weather cycles and temperature shifts. In this area of the northeast we experience four distinct seasons‚ and
