5 types of forest in Indonesia

1. Mangroves

Mangroves are various kinds of trees up to medium height and shrubs that grow in saline coastal sediment habitats in the tropics and subtropics - mainly between latitudes 25 ° N and 25 ° S. The remaining mangrove forest areas of the world in 2000 was 53.190 square miles (137.760 km ²) spanning 118 countries and territories. The word is used in at least three senses: (1) most broadly to refer to the habitat and entire plant assemblage or mangal, [page needed] for roomates the terms mangrove forest biome, mangrove swamp and mangrove forest are also used, (2) to refer to all trees and large shrubs in the mangrove swamp, and (3 ) narrowly to refer to the mangrove family of plants, the Rhizophoraceae, or even more specifically just to mangrove trees of the genus Rhizophora. The term "mangrove" comes to English from Spanish (perhaps by way of Portuguese), and is of Caribbean origin, Likely Taino. Earlier it was "mangrow" (from Spanish or Portuguese Mangue mangle), but this was corrupted via folk etymology influence of "grove".

The mangrove biome, or mangal, is a distinct saline woodland or shrubland habitat characterized by a depositional coastal environments, where fine sediments (Often with high organic content) collect in areas protected from high-energy wave action. Mangroves dominate three quarters of tropical coastlines. The saline conditions tolerated by various mangrove species range from Brackish water, through pure seawater (30 to 40 ppt), to water concentrated by evaporation to over twice the Salinity of ocean seawater (up to 90 ppt).

 

 2. Savana

A savanna, or savannah, is a grassland ecosystem characterized by the trees being sufficiently small or Widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. The open canopy Allows sufficient light to reach the ground to support an Unbroken herbaceous layer consisting primarily of grasses. Some classification systems [roomates?] Also recognize a grassland savanna from roomates trees are absent. This article deals only with savanna under the common definition of a grassy woodland with a significant woody plant component.

Often it is believed that Savannas feature Widely spaced, scattered trees. However, in many Savannas, tree densities are higher and trees are more Regularly spaced than in forest. Savannas are also characterized by seasonal water availability, with the majority of rainfall confined to one season. Savannas are associated with several types of biomes. Savannas are frequently in a transitional zone between forest and desert or prairie. Savanna covers approximately 20% of the Earth's land area.

 

3. Swamp Forest

Freshwater swamp forests, or flooded forests, are forests which are inundated with freshwater, either permanently or seasonally. They normally occur along the lower reaches of rivers and around freshwater lakes. Freshwater swamp forests are found in a range of climate zones, from boreal through temperate and subtropical to tropical.

In the Amazon Basin of Brazil, a seasonally flooded forest is known as a várzea, a use that now is becoming more widespread for this type of forest in the Amazon (though generally spelled varzea when used in English). Igapó, another word used in Brazil for flooded Amazonian forests, is also sometimes used in English. Specifically, varzea refers to whitewater-inundated forest, and igapo to blackwater-inundated forest.

Peat swamp forests are swamp forests where waterlogged soils prevent woody debris from fully decomposing, which over time creates a thick layer of acidic peat. 

 

4. Tropical Rain Forest

A tropical rainforest is an ecosystem type that Occurs roughly within the latitudes 28 degrees north or south of the equator (in the equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn). This ecosystem experiences high average Temperatures and a significant amount of rainfall. Rainforests can be found in Asia, Australia, Africa, South America, Central America, Mexico and on many of the Pacific, Caribbean, and Indian Ocean islands. Within the World Wildlife Fund's biome classification, tropical rainforests are thought to be a type of tropical wet forest (or tropical moist forest Broadleaf) and may also be Referred to as Lowland equatorial evergreen rainforest. 

5. Monsoon Forest

Leaves of tropical deciduous forest, tropical forest or jungle monsoon season (monsoon forest) is a forested biome in tropical and subtropical regions with warmer climates throughout the year, but is having dry season (dry) long over the past few months. Although this region dicurahi up to several hundred millimeters of rain each year-even more, a long dry season that forced most of the plants shed their leaves, and thus affect the lives of creatures in the woods. That is why it is called seasonal forest, or there is a forest called whole leaf.

In English, these biomes are known in terms of seasonal tropical forest, tropical and subtropical deciduous forest, tropical and subtropical dry forest Broadleaf, or summarily tropical dry forest.
