Explanation:
Each of their leaves needs a constant supply of water for producing sugars via photosynthesis , to regulate their cellular chemistry , and to transport mineral nutrients and sugars with the rest of the tree . Trees and forests generally occur in temperate and tropical climates where precipitation exceeds 100 cm per year (40 inches per year) , although forests can grow in drier climates . Trees obtain their water from their extensive root systems . The reason behind to his phenomenon is simple : unless there is a nearby stream or groundwater is close enough to the surface to accessed by the roots , precipitation from above is the easier to access . Thus , rain and melting snow is the major source of water used by trees .
