I'v been looking all over the web, but I can't seem to come up with a good response to this: "Describe 2 ways in which maple trees are suited to survive through the winter."

Any ideas?

Maple trees drop their leaves and the sap stops running in cold weather. This site has more details.

Great! That helped a lot, thanks. :)

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. If you're still looking for more ways that maple trees are suited to survive through the winter, I can certainly provide that information for you.

Here are two additional ways that maple trees are adapted to survive the winter:

1. Bark Protection: Maple trees have thick, protective bark that helps insulate the trunk and branches from the cold temperatures. The bark acts as a barrier, preventing the freezing temperatures from damaging the delicate tissues beneath it.

2. Dormancy: Maple trees enter a period of dormancy during the winter months. This means that their metabolic processes slow down significantly, conserving energy and resources. During dormancy, the tree's growth stops, and it becomes less susceptible to freezing temperatures. This adaptation allows the tree to survive through the winter without the need for sunlight and photosynthesis.
