It is the tundra climate zone
It is referred to as dormancy, a natural process in which plants slow down or stop their growth in response to colder temperatures and reduced sunlight during the winter months.
Yes, photosynthesis can still occur in the winter, but at a slower rate due to the reduced sunlight and colder temperatures. Evergreen plants and some cold-tolerant plants can continue photosynthesizing during the winter months, albeit at a reduced level compared to during the growing season.
