How do plants adapt to the temperate rainforest?

Answer 1

Summer is a busy time for deciduous trees. Their broad leaves capture energy from the sun and convert it to food by photosynthesis. Some of the food is used for growth and some is stored in the roots for next spring.

During the shorter days and cooler weather of autumn, green chlorophyll in the leaves begins to decompose, revealing brilliant Oranges, yellows, and reds. Actually, these colors were present in the leaves all year long, but had been hidden by the green pigment of the chlorophyll.

To prepare for winter, deciduous trees and plants become dormant. They lose their leaves and seal the places where leaves were attached with a protective covering called a leaf scar. If they kept their leaves, the water in the leaves would freeze into ice, damaging the leaves and leaving the plant vulnerable to bacteria or fungi. Plants also make a concentrated sugar solution to stop water from freezing in their stems.

The longer days and warmer weather of spring signal to the trees to grow new leaves and begin photosynthesis again.

Answer 2
