    Biologically, a woodland is a treed area differentiated from a forest. In these terms, a forest has a largely-closed canopy; the branches and foliage of trees interlock overhead to provide extensive and nearly continuous shade. A woodland, with sunlight penetrating between trees. Some types of woodland are essentially grasslands with shrubs and scattered trees.

    A woodlot is a closely-related term, which refers to a stand of trees generally used for firewood. While these woodlots often technically have closed canopies, they are so small that the penetration is such that they are ecologically more woodland than forest.
