How do trees protect their buds in winter?

Answer 1

Trees survive winter using various techniques. However, the techniques they use to survive winter are different. * Deciduous trees. Deciduous tress are trees that lose their leaves during winter. Since food isn't in abundance in winter and photosynthesizing is virtually impossible, trees need to save food. Therefore, trees stop the flow of nutrients to their leaves. The leaves, subsequently, change color due to languishment and die off. * Coniferous trees. These trees do not lose their leaves during winter. Their leaves (pines and pine-like leaves like pinecones) are more durable, and lighter, and do not burden the tree as much as the leaves of deciduous trees do.

Answer 2

The trees slow their growth greatly, as evidenced by the denser rings of wood formed in the winter. But since the Sun still shines and the temperature varies, the trees continue to grow.

I'm not sure what the photosynthesis mechanism must be in deciduous trees, but they still have annual rings of finite width.

Answer 3

becuase, you see, the light wavelength is much spanglier in winter so there isnt enoughyt light to go round so the teees give it up as a bad job and gwet rid of all tyheir leaves. youre welcome

Answer 4

Most tree buds are covered with very small, modified leaves, which look like scales. These are nature's answer to the problems buds have with cold and drying out.

Answer 5

trees protect there buds in winter because in summer and spring the buds need to bloom and if there frozen they cant bloom.
