Question : Trees are leafless for a shorter or longer season of the year in :
Option 1: Evergreen forest
Option 2: Mangrove forest
Option 3: Scrub jungle forest
Option 4: Deciduous forest
Correct Answer: Deciduous forest
Solution : The correct option is Deciduous Forests.
In temperate deciduous forest, trees are leafless for a longer period of the year to survive the winter months, deciduous trees in temperate forests shed their leaves. The leaves have a large surface area for transpiration, which is where water is lost from the plant. Water is less available throughout the winter owing to frozen ground and decreased moisture in the air. Trees preserve energy and prevent water loss by losing their leaves.
