Wood or woodland
A smaller area of trees than a forest, usually applies to broad-leaved trees. The distinction between a "forest" and a "wood" or "woodland" is simply one of scale, and to some extent the words are interchangeable.

Answer 3

A forest is usually an area which has been planted with trees. It will go through a scrub or thicket stage before the trees mature and the canopy closes. Good question - I used to work for the Forest Service and never thought about it. I tend to think of a woodland to be a more seminatural habitat.

Answer 4

Yo! If you actually study ecology you will learn that a 'forest' was actually a place for hunting years ago for the likes of henry 8th, other kings and people of importance. A woodland was a "place of trees" but a forest was a place for hunting that included trees. However, because there is no hunting or that sort, a forest is only a forest if it gained that name years ago, all other places of trees are woodlands!
