DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In botany and horticulture, deciduous plants, including trees, shrubs and herbaceous perennials, are those that lose all of their leaves for part of the year. This process is called abscission. In some cases leaf loss coincides with winter-namely in temperate or polar climates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Maple, oak, and elm are examples of deciduous forests.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deciduous means “temporary” or “tending to fall off” (deriving from the Latin word decidere, to fall off). When talking about plants this means that the plant loses its leaves, usually in autumn. The leaves will then grow again in spring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deciduous trees lose their leaves toward the finish of their developing season. This happens in the fall in mild deciduous backwoods, and in the dry season in tropical and subtropical deciduous woods. Deciduous plants totally lose their leaves for a while every year, supplanting them when ideal conditions return.
