I know of a card that gives a creature +X+X where X is the number of forests you control. So say you have 5 forests when you bring it out, then you put another one out. Does that turn the +5+5 to +6+6? Or does it stay +5+5 because there was only five when it was put into play?

Without knowing the card I can't say for sure, but I'm fairly sure you're talking about Blanchwood Armor , in which case yes, the bonus is continuously recalculated based on what you control.

If on the other hand it's a one-shot effect with a duration, the p/t bonus is calculated when the effect resolves and is locked-in from that point on.

yeah, if the bonus comes from a static ability such as "enchanted creature gets +X/+X, where X is...", the bonus changes with your forests. If the effect comes from a spell or some non-static ability (i.E. "target creature gets +X/+X until EoT, where..."), the bonus is locked in.

Also: If the effect would say "Target creature gains "this gets +X/+X, where..." until EoT", the bonus would change, since the one-shot effect created a static ability, which falls under case 1.
