In atypical forest, these include ; habicous plants,mosses, lichens, bacteria, birds, insects,spinners, and knits. In most forests, there are several layers or stratas of folliage formed by plants of different heights and different classification like tropical forest and lowland forest. Often they are described as ever green if the tree bears green leaves throughout the year. In adecidous forest, the leaves fall at the onset of the cold or dry season and the trees are without foliage for aperiod of several weeks or months. Some forests incliude oak forests (encirials) in the south west, are composed of trees that rose off their old leaves and develop new leaves in the period of a new week in spring. Such forests may be determined as sem decidous or sem evergreen. They may also be described as open or closed. In an open, the tree crowns generally do not touch or overlap, and the canopy, therefore forest have more or less continous canopies formed by interlocking or overlapping the tree crowns.
However, they are affected by both human activities such as lumbering that is mostly common in tropical forests with nice logs, overgrazing due to population increase, settlements that has covered most of the forests through encroachment, and natural activities such as wild fires and vulcanicity.
However as forests is a global consern, Tree planting should be part of the governnment's poverrty allleviation efforts as there is alot from tree farming in any case people have the by law regarding tree plantation. This is due to the fact that, trees plays a big role forinstance; In water catchment, binding soil cover, infrustuctural developement, power generation from bunning charcoal, act as a home animals and birds such as primates, antelopes, reptles and turracos, weaver birds, respectively.
