In autumn, leaves undergo a process called abscission, where the trees actively shed their leaves in response to environmental cues such as decreasing daylight and temperature. This process involves the formation of a layer of cells at the base of the leaf stem called the abscission zone, which weakens and eventually severs the connection between the leaf and the tree. The leaves then fall to the ground, where they decompose and return nutrients to the soil, preparing the tree for the winter months.
