Why do deciduous trees shed their leaves in autumn?

  • ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ 7

Deciduous trees shed their leaves in autumn to conserve water and energy during winter. As temperatures drop and daylight decreases, photosynthesis slows, making leaves less productive. Trees form a protective layer at the base of the leaf stem, cutting off nutrient flow and causing the leaves to fall. This process also reduces the risk of damage from snow accumulation and allows the tree to survive harsh conditions.
