Other plants are semi-evergreen and lose their leaves before the next growing season, retaining some during winter or dry periods. [11] Like a number of other deciduous plants, Forsythia flowers during the leafless season. Many deciduous plants flower during the period when they are leafless, as this increases the effectiveness of pollination.
In temperate deciduous forests, many understory plants start into growth earlier in the year than the canopy trees, to make use of the greater availability of light at that particular time of year. A gap in the canopy caused by the death of a tree stimulates the potential emergent trees into competitive growth as they grow upwards to fill the gap.
