From their roots
From their leaves
From the seed when they germinate
From mycorrhizae (fungi) around their roots
Chemical reactions are occurring because it’s getting colder
Green chlorophyll is being removed, revealing other pigments in the leaves
The sun is no longer turning them green
When plants lose their leaves
When animals become inactive during the winter
When birds hide food
When animals return from the south in the summer
