In All About Forest Ecosystems, kids will explore the ecosystems where trees are the major plant life form. Viewers will discover the three different types of forests found around the world (rainforests, deciduous forests and coniferous forests) and explore the plant and animal life found there. A fun, hands-on experiment illustrates why rainforest soil is so poor in nutrients, while a visit with a scientist examines one of the world's most famous predators -- the boa constrictor!
