Tropical all the way for me! Nothing beats laying in a hammock under palm trees

You should have allowed more than one selection! How can someone only like one type of vegetation and hate all the others. I'm going with conifers and temperate deciduous!

I voted for conifers but temperate deciduous would be a close second for me. The rest of the list just makes me think "hot".

I like conifers. I grew up in an area dominated by conifers. They smell amazing.

I've gone for other. Beech forest. It's the dominant bush at altitude around here. Nice and light, dry, and not much undergrowth.

Lots of wet subtropical around here. It's nice if it's dry, but sucks if it's wet. Can be hard going as well, progress can be slow.

Definitely the wet tropical rainforest look...

but the tropical savanna is also fascinating...

There is much much more to the tropics then palm trees, I find 100+ foot tall tropical hardwoods with 8 foot tall butress roots and Ficus that can cover acres just as interesting...
