Trinity and Neo are in an area that has many lakes and bogs. The majority of the trees are coniferous. As they look around, they also see deciduous trees, including birches, aspens, and maples. What type of forest are they in?

Answer: Boreal forest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Boreal forests are those that grow in areas of high-latitude with freezing temperatures. They hold more surface freshwater than other biomes. Plant biodiversity is not as large as that of a temperate forest since trees are in boreal forests are usually a scarce variety of coniferous species, with a minimum height of 5 meters and a canopy cover of around 10%.
