Hello swiss. Thank you for questions)

First of all you should make height map. There are many ways for this on this forum. Уou can use tutorial of Arshees, Passis, Pixie. After it you can start work with texturing. I use stamp brush with 15-60% transp. You can mixed different texture to make effects that you want. I love work with many layers for different places.
About forest. I use one texture. I deleted some pixels for make sieve. And save it like texture pattern. On layer "forest" I use embossing and shadow. And make layer to multiplication effect. With light and color correction you can change this layer to look like real forests. For forests i have 4-5 layers of one texture with different settings to make dark on light forest for different biomes.
Use layer on top for shadows. I have 2 layers for this. Global shadow with 5-15% transp. and local shadow with 15-25% transp for show deep places.
