An extensive wood; a large tract of land covered with trees; in the United States, a wood of native growth, or a tract of woodland which has never been cultivated.

A large extent or precinct of country, generally waste and woody, belonging to the sovereign, set apart for the keeping of game for his use, not inclosed, but distinguished by certain limits, and protected by certain laws, courts, and officers of its own.

To cover with trees or wood.

An ecosystem dominated by trees, with a unique combination of plants, animals, microbes, soil, and climate.

An ecosystem dominated by trees. Examples of forest biomes are: boreal forest; tropical savanna; deciduous forest.

Trees growing close together creating lower light at the understory level.

Ecosystem dominated by trees. Major forest biomes include tropical evergreen forest, tropical savanna, deciduous forest, and boreal forest.

The Australian definition (National Forest Inventory) is 'an area dominated by trees having usually a single stem and a mature stand height exceeding two metres with an existing or potential crown cover equal to or greater than 20%'. This definition is somewhat different to that of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, which is 'land with tree crown cover of more than 10% and area of more than 0.5 ha. Trees should be able to reach a minimum height of 5 metres at maturity'.

area of land covered by trees

Under the Kyoto Protocol a forest is a minimum area of land of 1.0 hectare with tree crown cover (or equivalent stocking level) of more than 10-30 per cent with trees with the potential to reach a minimum height of 2-5 metres at maturity in situ. A forest may consist either of closed forest formations where trees of various storeys and undergrowth cover a high proportion of the ground or open forest. Young natural stands and all plantations which have yet to reach a crown density of 10-30 per cent or tree height of 2-5 metres are included under forest, as are areas normally forming part of the forest area which are temporarily unstocked as a result of human intervention such as harvesting or natural causes but which are expected to revert to forest. Canada has yet to make a decision on the two parameters for which a range is specified. Project developers should assume that an area would only be considered forest if it has minimum crown cover of 30% and a minimum potential tree height of 5 metres.

as defined by the Forest Practices Code of British Columbia Act includes all of the following - forest land, whether Crown land or private land; Crown range; Crown land or private land that is predominantly maintained in one or more successive stands of trees, successive crops of forage, or wilderness.

graph which contains no circuits. The connected components of a forest are trees.

an assemblage of woody vegetation typically attaining positions in a plant community at the tallest level; attains height and diameter growth of canopy-layer trees within established averages for the species.

terrestrial ecosystem (biome) with enough average annual precipitation (at least 76 centimeters or 30 inches) to support growth of various species of trees and smaller forms of vegetation.

A plant community dominated by trees and woody plants. From a management standpoint, a forest is a collection of stands administered as a unit.

a place with many trees and other plants The trees in this forest are very tall.

A large area of land, covered with a heavy growth of trees and underbrush.

a group of trees growing close together

A complex community of plants and animals in which trees are the most prominent members.

Biome with enough average annual precipitation (at least 76 centimeters, or 30 inches) to support growth of various tree species and smaller forms of vegetation. Compare desert, grassland.

A collection of one or more Active Directory domain trees that are connected through transitive bidirectional trust relationships in a domain. The trust relationships enable users to access resources in any domain in the forest. See also domain and tree.

An ecosystem that, when intact, is characterized by tree cover usually consisting of stands varying in characteristics such as species, structure, composition, age~lass, and commonly including streams and wildlife. while forest ecosystems are not bound by property lines, for the purpose of this document, "forest" may be delimited by ownership or other qualifying characteristics. Management activities necessary to achieve this goal shall be carried out. In addition, all management activities and economic uses that do not conflict with the primary purpose, including logging when appropriate, may be carried out.

the trees and other plants in a large densely wooded area

land that is covered with trees and shrubs

a collection of one or more AD trees organized as peers and connected by two-way transitive trust relationships between the root domains of each tree

a collection of trees that do not have to form a contiguous name space (however each tree still has to be contiguous)

a community of living beings in which the tree is the most important member

a community of living things, of which the tree is the greatest asset

a community of which trees are part

a complex ecosystem, but for the average hiker the woods do not appear complex

a complex ecosystem made up of both living things such as trees and birds, and non-living things such as fallen logs, water and rock

a grouping or hierarchical arrangement of one or more active directory trees

a group of Domain Trees

a group of trees of

a hierarchical grouping, like a pyramid structure, of one or more Microsoft Windows XP domain trees that have different namespaces

a large group of trees and underbrush where many animals live

a large piece of land with a lot of trees

a linked structure, similiar to a list forming a number of hierarchies or trees

a living breathing ecosystem, a collection of minerals water organisms microbes bacteria fungi and even a few trees and animals to top it off

a lot of trees growing together

an area with a high density of trees historically, a wooded area set aside for hunting

a natural, self-sustaining community characterized by vertical structure created by the presence of trees

a natural setting or naturalized open space, which supports a diversified ecosystem and is largely self-sustaining

an ecological system in which trees, birds, and animals share a joint habitat

an ecosystem, as is a large lake or a desert

an ECOSYSTEM characterized by a dense and extensive tree cover

an ecosystem or ecological community whose most important organisms are trees

an ecosystem, with wildlife, streams, underbrush, etc

an entire ecosystem, including people, fauna, flora, water, air and soils

an evolved ecosystem including permeable topsoil that functions as part of the hydrologic cycle

a system, where trees and their associates are so highly ordered in their connections that they all survive at a high quality state

a total ecosystem

a tree if it is connected

Plant communities which exist along floodplains or on the eastern side of rivers where they were protected from fires. They are dominated by trees that are intolerant of fire and can grow in poorly drained soils, although bur oak trees can be a part of this community. In Northeastern Illinois, the word "forest" is often used interchangeably with "woodland" or "woods," as in the "Big Woods."

An area incorporating all living and non-living components, dominated by trees having usually a single stem and a mature (or potentially mature) stand height exceeding 5m, with existing or potential projective foliage cover of overstorey strata, about equal to or greater than 30%. This definition includes native forests and plantations, regardless of age, and areas of trees sometimes described as woodlands.

A biome whose main vegetation consists of large groups of trees that usually grow close enough together that their tops touch, shading the ground

Area predominantly covered by exotic or native trees.

A large place of dense trees, plants, animals, and other organisms. Older forests have taller trees than younger forests.

structure — The horizontal and vertical arrangement of trees and tree sizes.
