Do trees lose their leaves because of the changing weather patterns?
So, if the weather changed dramatically for some reason – would they adapt and change leaf patterns? Losing leaves say later or earlier based on the heat/moisture?
Climate patterns, not weather patterns. There’s an important difference (link #1). But to continue…
The answer largely depends on how quickly the climate changes. All plants will adapt to their climate, but trees take much longer than other plants. That could mean that climate change would be very hard on them, and many might not adapt quickly enough to survive.
As the environment changes, trees and other plants can respond in different ways. They may have high phenotypic plasticity (ability to change its traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, or behavior) and the same genotypes (similar DNA) can just tolerate the environmental change. They may go extinct due to lack of ability to cope with the
abiotic changes (non-living physical and chemical characteristics of their environment).
Alternatively, trees can migrate their geographic distribution to better areas through seed movement and thus maintain their “climatic envelope” (such as moving from a place getting to cold, and down south to where it’s as warm as they like it). These possibilities have been extensively considered as responses to the current human-induced climate change (if you accept climate change as human-induced or not), but there has been much less emphasis on the possibility that species might evolve and genetically adapt to the new conditions, both of which may well be possible – but would happen over a long period of time (perhaps hundreds of years).
So, do they lose their leaves? Possibly, if that is the best way to adapt to a new climate pattern. Please keep in mind, climate pattern, now weather pattern. Weather is rainy day versus the next day being sunny. Climate is the Pacific Northwest being generally foggy, cold, and wet.
