Forests are made of trees. Do you know the following types(类型) of forests on Earth
Temperate Forest
Temperate forests are found all over the world. These forests have four seasons. They are hot or cool at
different times of the year. Many kinds of trees grow in a temperate forest. Their leaves change colors with the
seasons. Leaves fall off the trees when the weather gets cool. As the weather warms up, the trees sprout.
Boreal Forest
Boreal forests are found in northern parts of the world, like North America, Asia, and Europe. Of the three
types of forests, boreal forests have the shortest growing season, about 130 days. These forests are cold, making it
difficult for life. The largest boreal forest is in Russia, Europe. Animals there get used to the cold weather by
growing thick fur (皮毛).
Tropical Rain Forest
You may guess that it rains a lot in a tropical rainforest. You are right! Tropical rainforests are hot and wet.
These forests cover only a tenth of the earth, yet they are home to more kinds of plants and animals than any other
places. The biggest tropical rainforest is the Amazon. It is in South America and it’s home to 10% of the world’s
plants and animals.
Trees give us oxygen (氧气). They help clean the air. Cutting down too many trees hurts the environment.
