I mean the area on top is obviously a forest but what about the ones in the middle and at the bottom?

Legal definitions of a forest can vary by country and jurisdiction, but they often include specific criteria related to tree density, height, and land use. Here are some common elements found in legal definitions:

1. **Tree Cover**: Many definitions specify a minimum percentage of land that must be covered by trees, often around 10% or more.

2. **Tree Height**: There may be requirements for the minimum height of trees, such as being over a certain height (e.g., 5 meters or more).

3. **Area Size**: Some legal definitions might specify a minimum area size for a tract of land to be classified as a forest.

4. **Land Use**: The designation may exclude areas that are primarily used for agriculture or urban development, focusing instead on land primarily used for forestry or conservation.

5. **Ecological Function**: Some definitions may include criteria related to the ecological functions of the area, such as habitat provision, biodiversity support, and carbon storage.

Legal definitions are crucial for purposes such as land management, conservation efforts, and regulations regarding deforestation and reforestation. For specific legal definitions, it’s best to refer to the legislation of a particular country or region.

I'd call the second one a wood or a grove. The third one is a field with some trees in it.

I've watched a video recently that spoke of Europe's "Atlantic dune forests".
I would very much like to see images and videos from within one, it sounds interesting. But googling the term brings back little in the way of specific locations. I am curious if the US has these types of forests as well.
