  Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests in TutorGig Encyclopedia
Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are found in a belt around the equator and in the humid subtropics, and are characterized by warm, humid climates with high year-round rainfall.
Tropical and subtropical forest regions with lower rainfall are home to Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests and Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests.
Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are common in several terrestrial ecozones, including parts of the 'Afrotropic' (equatorial Africa), 'Indomalaya' (parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), the 'Neotropic' (northern South America and Central America), 'Australasia' (eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and northern Australia), and 'Oceania' (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).

 Forest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
A forest is an area with a high density of trees (or, historically, an area set aside for hunting).
Forests can be found in all regions capable of sustaining tree growth, at altitudes up to the tree-line, except where rainfall is too low, or natural fire frequency too high.
In ecological terms, a forest may be differentiated from a woodland: a forest is considered to have a more or less closed canopy, where the branches and foliage of trees meet or interlock; a woodland is considered to have an open canopy, where some sunlight penetrates between the trees (see also: savanna).

Forests can be found in all regions capable of sustaining tree growth, at altitudes up to the timberline.
A forest in its natural form is home to many animal and plant species, and the weight of the biomass in any given square kilometre is high compared to other biomes.
In this case, a forest is considered to have a closed canopy, where the branches and foliage of trees interlock, whereas a woodland is considered to have an open canopy, where sunlight penetrates between trees.

 The Ultimate Forest Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
A forest in its natural form is home to many animal and plant species, and biomass per unit area is high compared to most other biomes, though in some types of forests such as boreal forests, much of it is locked in lignin and other materials that decompose slowly.
Forests are usually classified in terms of the biome in which they exist, and in terms of leaf longevity of the major species (whether they are evergreen or deciduous).

Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests are a temperate and humid biome.
Temperatures are typically moderate except in parts of Asia such as Ussuriland where temperate forests can occur despite extremely harsh winters due to the heavy summer monsoon rains.
