Forests

The video tutorial explains the three major types of forests: tropical, temperate, and boreal. Tropical rainforests are found in the hottest parts of the world and have a warm, wet climate. Temperate forests exist in regions with mild oceanic climates, such as New Zealand and Oregon, and include evergreen trees. Boreal forests, or taiga, are located in cooler areas like Scandinavia and Canada, experiencing only two frost-free months annually. Russia holds the largest forest tracts globally, contributing significantly to the world's softwood production.
