Are fall leaves more colorful after a wet or dry summer?

Fall leaves tend to be more colorful after a dry summer. A lack of rainfall can stress the trees, triggering a chemical process that increases the production of pigments such as anthocyanins and carotenoids, resulting in more vibrant colors in the leaves during autumn.


What makes fall leaves brighter as they change color?

Why do leaves turn brown in autumn?

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.
