An evergreen forest is a forest made up of evergreen trees. They occur across a wide range of climatic zones, and include trees such as conifers and holly in cold climates, eucalyptus, live oak, acacias, magnolia, and banksia in more temperate zones, and rainforest trees in tropical zones.
Evergreen forests are forest ecosystems that are characterized by the presence of coniferous-evergreen tree species, such as spruce, pine, fir, and hemlock, which retain their needles year-round. These forests are found in temperate regions around the world and experience varying amounts of rainfall and temperature extremes throughout the year.
Evergreen forests fill many corners of the planet with life, where they are commonly known as “evergreen” forests. Unlike the forests of deciduous plant species that lose their leaves when autumn arrives, the evergreen forests maintain their greenery and foliage with the passing of the seasons.
coniferous forest, vegetation composed primarily of cone-bearing needle-leaved or scale-leaved evergreen trees, found in areas that have long winters and moderate to high annual precipitation. The northern Eurasian coniferous forest is called the taiga or the boreal forest .
*evergreen forest* A forest in which there is no complete, seasonal loss of leaves (i.e. trees shed old leaves and produce new ones partially, and sometimes throughout the year, rather than during particular periods). The trees may be softwood conifers or broad-leaved hardwoods [1].
Evergreen Rainforest: Often thought of as “real” rainforest, these are the wettest (about 80 inches of rain per year) and most biodiverse tropical forests.
A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees that receives a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are likely Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 60 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, with more than half of the world’s plant and animal species calling ...
A forest is a complex ecological system in which trees are the dominant life-form. A forest is nature’s most efficient ecosystem, with a high rate of photosynthesis affecting both plant and animal systems in a series of complex organic relationships.
Deciduous forest is found in three middle-latitude regions with a temperate climate characterized by a winter season and year-round precipitation: eastern North America, western Eurasia, and northeastern Asia. Deciduous forest also extends into more arid regions along stream banks and around bodies of water.
Boreal forests are still full of life that’s adapted to withstand frigid temperatures year-round, such as caribou reindeer, or animals that can migrate long distances every winter. Full of deciduous trees and conifers, Boreal forests cover vast expanses in Canada, Alaska, and Russia.
