During winter, many trees shed their leaves as a survival strategy to conserve water and energy. In colder temperatures, water uptake by roots slows down, and the risk of freezing increases, making it difficult for trees to maintain their leaves. Shedding leaves reduces moisture loss through transpiration and helps the tree endure harsh conditions until spring, when conditions are more favorable for growth. This process is more common in deciduous trees, which adapt to seasonal changes.
