Hola Guillermo.

Ok te voy a responder tu pregunta como lo explica el curso oficial de directorio activo, esta en ingles por que lo saque del libro, creo que no hay mejor explicacion que esta.

A forest is a grouping or hierarchical arrangement of one or more separate,
completely independent domain trees. As such, forests have the following characteristics:
■ All domains in a forest share a common schema.
■ All domains in a forest share a common global catalog.
■ All domains in a forest are linked by implicit two-way transitive trusts.
■ Trees in a forest have different naming structures, according to their domains.
■ Domains in a forest operate independently, but the forest enables communication across the entire organization.

The forest functional level provides a way to enable forest-wide Active Directory features
within your network environment. Three forest functional levels are available: Windows 2000 (default), Windows Server 2003 interim, and Windows Server 2003. The Windows 2000 functional level allows a Windows Server 2003 domain controller to interact with domain controllers in the domain running Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, or Windows Server 2003. The Windows Server 2003 interim functional level allows a Windows Server 2003 domain controller to interact with domain controllers
in the domain running Windows NT 4 or Windows Server 2003. The Windows Server 2003 functional level allows a Windows Server 2003 domain controller to inter-act only with domain controllers in the domain running Windows Server 2003. You can raise the functional level of a forest only if the domain controllers in the forest are running
the appropriate version of Windows

Espero sea lo que necesitas.

Por cierto el concepto de Bosque no viene de Windows 2003 ni de toda la familia 2000, ya existía la misma en Novell 4.10 alla por 1994.
