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.

Is the boreal forest more diverse or is the deciduous forest more diverse?

The deciduous forest is generally more diverse than the boreal forest. Deciduous forests typically host a wider variety of plant and animal species due to their more temperate climates, varied topography, and longer growing seasons. In contrast, boreal forests, dominated by coniferous trees, have less species diversity due to harsher conditions and a more limited range of habitats. Overall, the greater variety of species in deciduous forests contributes to their higher biodiversity.


Three kinds of forests?

Three types of forests include tropical rainforests, temperate forests, and boreal forests. Tropical rainforests are characterized by high biodiversity and warm temperatures, while temperate forests have distinct seasons and a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. Boreal forests, also known as taiga, are found in colder climates and consist mostly of coniferous trees.
