Because, the plants need to make their sugars (from the soil to grow) but after winter, a lot of snow gets in the soil. The plants therefore stop working, which means a beautiful season of falling leaves!

Not all trees lose their leaves.

Coniferous trees, most notably, do not lose their leaves.

Deciduous trees do. During autumn months the days become shorter triggering a bio-chemical chain reaction in trees causing them to pull nutrients from their leaves and back into the trunk to wait out the autumn and winter. The shorter days means that there is not as much time for photosynthesis and so the leaves, where photosynthesis takes places, are no longer as necessary. When spring arrives and days begin to lengthen there is another bio-chemical chain reaction that triggers the regrowth of leaves.

There are different types of plant that survive in winter and that not like the one that doesn't survive are ANNUALs: these are the plants that produce a handsome amount of seeds during spring season. But they don't survive in winter. But in the spring season, new plants grow from the seeds.

Second one is PERENNIALS

These are plants that survive during the winter season. Usually the plant part that breeds above the ground expires, but the roots are protected by snow layers.

Then in the season of spring, this plant will

1- In the winter, heat becomes less available.

2- In the winter, light become less available.

3- In the winter,

4- In the winter, minerals become less available.

5- The plants then began to get rid of the leaves by discontinuing the flow of food to these expire leaves.

And once the supply of the food from plant to leaves is close off, these leaves began to change their colour and with the passage of time they beginning to fall off.

Deciduous trees lose their leaves seasonally in order to conserve water during the upcoming winter or dry season. Leaves become detached through the process of abscission.
