Scientists group all forests into three main categories: a) boreal
forests; b) deciduous forests; c) rainforests. The boreal forests
are those where the growing season is comparatively short, with
cold winters. These forests typically have large numbers of pine
trees. Deciduous forests are found in warmer climates, and have
mostly deciduous trees, like maple, elm or oak. Rainforests are
in the tropical areas, and are further classified into several specific
types. The U.S. has over 100 National Forests, but of course there
are many more forested areas than that.
