English term or phrase: other plants
Most carbon dioxide - whether produced by nature or human activities - is absorbed by the oceans. Forests and other plants absorb a lesser, but still significant, amount.

Forests and other plants这里的other plants直接翻成”其他植物“肯定是不够准确的。但是是”其他地方(除森林之外)的植物“还是”其他种类的植物(除树木之外的植物)“

Chinese translation:其它植被
Explanation:
我认为森林应该与草原等相对,也就是这个plant应该是一个比forests的上位概念。经过搜索我发现:
其它植物资源:蒙古地带性植被主要有森林、草原、戈壁和荒漠,大体上从北向南依次分布。森林植被主要分布在山地,以针叶林为主。蒙古国植物种类、数量相对较少,但由于幅员.........

当然网上也有错误,因此,仅供参考。

Notes to answerer
Asker: 我还查到植被可依植物群落类型划分,如草甸植被、森林植被等。 这么看来,可以翻成”森林植被和其他植被“。

其他植物


Explanation:
应该是:林木和其他植物, forest又不一定是森林,也可以专指森林里的林木的,那就是树木,当然森林里除树木之外还有其他植物咯。
