The Rain Forests are found throughout the north and southern heimspheres and are classified by the amount of rainfall that falls during the rainy season which is about 1750-2000 mm (68-78 inches) annually. These forrests are usually dominated by hardwood (leafy) trees.

The Boreal (called The Taiga in Europe/Asia) Forest is one long strip of softwood dominated forest that collectively covers 1.7 billion acres. It can also be split into two separate forests the Northern Boreal and Southern Boreal. The North is dominated by black spruce, jack pine and larch, while the South is dominated by trembling aspen, white birch, balsam poplar and white spruce. The climax species for this forest is the White Cedar.
