Woodland refers to a type of natural vegetation characterized by trees and other woody plants, typically found in areas with moderate levels of rainfall. These forested areas are often dominated by specific types of tree species that are adapted to their local environment, such as coniferous or deciduous trees. Woodlands can vary greatly in size from small woodlots to large expanses of forest land. They play an important role in the ecosystem, providing habitat for a variety of plant and animal life, regulating water cycles, and helping to combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.
