Area 1 is characterized by high temperatures and high precipitation, which are typical of tropical wet forests. Areas 2 and 3 have lower precipitation and temperatures, which could be consistent with temperate grasslands or tundra, but not enough information is given to definitively identify them as such. Boreal forests usually occur at higher latitudes and have cooler temperatures, so it is unlikely that Area 1 would be considered a boreal forest.
