Coniferous forests
\n <\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/strong>Coniferous forests inhabit the cold, windy regions
\n around the poles. There are both hardwoods and conifers found in this
\n region. The conifers are evergreen and structurally adapted to withstand
\n the long drought-like conditions of the long winters, whereas the
\n hardwoods are deciduous.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Mediterranean forests
\n <\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/strong>These forests are found to the south of the temperate
\n regions around the coasts of the Mediterranean, California, Chile and
\n Western Australia. The growing season is short and almost all trees are

Montane forests
\n <\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/strong>These are also known as cloud forests because they
\n receive most of their precipitation from the mist or fog that comes up
\n from the lowlands. Some of these montane woodlands and grasslands are
\n found in high-elevation tropical, subtropical and temperate zones.<\/p>\n Plants and animals in these forests are adapted to withstanding the
\n cold, wet conditions and intense sunlight. Trees are mainly conifers.<\/p>\n

Plantation forests<\/h3>\n
There are around 140 million hectares of \u201cplantation forests\u201d in the
\n world, accounting for around 7% of global forest cover. The productivity
\n of planted forests, in terms of supplying a sustainable volume of
\n timber and fibre, is usually greater than natural forests. Plantations
\n produce around 40% of industrial wood.<\/p>\n
Both the plantation area and contribution to world wood production are

Temperate forests
\n <\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/strong>Found in such places as eastern North America,

\n a mix of deciduous and coniferous evergreen trees. Usually, the
