'''Forests''' are now considered to be collections of [[tree|trees]] as a whole, or large areas of trees.  Tropical Rainforest is found around the Equatorial regions, and has perhaps the greatest number of kinds of life of any habitat, and a major role in taking in [[carbon dioxide]] and releasing [[oxygen]].  Temperate forests are also important.
