What do trees in temperate climates gain when they drop their leaves in the fall?
Well, when they drop they're leaves in the fall, they go dormant, so they don't really do much. (I live in a temperate climate, I should know.) However, during the fall, some species of trees (like the oak or hickory) produce nuts that you can collect and either eat or plant so you can enjoy more beautiful trees.

What is the difference between deciduous trees and evergreen trees?
Deciduous trees shed their leaves annually in response to seasonal changes, while evergreen trees retain their leaves year-round.

Deciduous trees are common in temperate regions, while evergreen trees are more prevalent in colder or drier climates.

What are differences between evergreen and deciduous forests?
deciduous trees drop their leaves all at once at the end of the warm season; evergreen means the tree never drops its leaves all at once but rather sheds them evenly throughout the year as they become old or diseased. Evergreen forests include coniferous forest (pines, spruces, etc.) and tropical broadleaf forests, and deciduous forests are usually temperate broadleaf forests (oaks, maples, etc.) broadleaf evergreens are able to exist in the tropics because it is always warm and there is always plenty of light available for photosynthesis, whereas broadleaf trees in temperate regions are usually deciduous because it is more energy efficient for the trees to go dormant and drop the unnecessarily large leaves when it gets cold and the amount of light decreases in the winter. Coniferous forests retain their leaves even in extremely cold climates because the leaves are so small and thin that it is not a burden to keep them on.
Why do leaves of trees drop on the east side of us in fall?
Actually the leaves on some trees drop everywhere in fall (not just in the eastern US) and the leaves on other trees never drop.The trees that drop their leaves in fall are called deciduous and the trees that never drop their leaves are called evergreen.The reason for the phenomenon you are describing is that in the eastern US forests have many more deciduous trees than evergreen trees, while in the western US forests have many more evergreen trees than deciduous trees. But forests on both sides of the US always have some of both types.Deciduous trees drop their leaves in fall mostly as a way to minimize water loss in winter to the cold dry air. Evergreens have an entirely different means of coping with cold dry air in winter.
