As autumn arrives, the leaves of deciduous trees go through a striking colour change before falling to the ground.
The process is driven by the reduction of chlorophyll, which allows other pigments like carotenoids and anthocyanins to show through, creating the season's distinctive reds, yellows, and oranges. Trees shed their leaves to conserve energy and minimise water loss in the colder months.
The fallen leaves form a natural layer on the forest floor, providing insulation and nutrients for the soil while offering a habitat for insects and small animals.v
