From their leaves
From the seed when they germinate
From their roots
From mycorrhizae (fungi) around their roots
Lose their leaves in the winter
Have large leaves which aren’t lost in the winter
Have needles that are kept throughout the year
Temperate forests are forests with extreme climates.
It’s too cold in the temperate forest
To find food
To mate
To avoid predators

The sun is no longer turning them green
Green chlorophyll is being removed, revealing other pigments in the leaves
When birds hide food
When animals become inactive during the winter
When animals return from the south in the summer

If they didn’t, snow could pile up on their branches and break them off
They’re worn out and there is no more nitrogen left in them
