Why do leaves on a deciduous fall of in the winter?

Deciduous trees shed their leaves in winter to conserve energy. Leaves are a liability during winter as they require water and nutrients to maintain, so trees drop them to reduce water loss and stay dormant until spring when conditions are more favorable for growth. This shedding process helps trees survive the cold and dry winter months.
