Plant Adaptations

• The plants of this biome must be very well adapted to survive. Trees like the beech, the elm, and white spruce have leaves that absorb sunlight and water. This way, the soaring branches do more than just provide shade for other creatures of this biome, they also provide nutrients necessary for the tree to live. Trees are also able to shed they're leaves in the winter.By shedding their leaves, they cannot transpire, hence containing its water for the winter.
  
• Trees drop their leaves because chlorophyll breaks down in cool weather.
