Due to leaf senescence. In autumn the leaves stop being the sink for phloem transport so the nutrient supply dwindles so the leaves age and turn brown (since there are no nutrients to carry on producing more chlorophyll etc.).

Senescence occurs due to reduced levels of cytokinin (plant "hormone") production.
