Why do leaves that fall down in the fall disappear in the following summer?
Trees which shed their leave in the winter are called deciduous. Generally speaking these are trees which grow in cold climates and do this for protection (but are not conifers, they have a different mechanism of protection). In very cold climates the norm is high wind, rain, snow, sleet, hail and frost. Plants that are exposed to this are easily damaged by what is called frost burn (the leaves in particular); additionally the added stress of high wind, the weight of snow or ice on branches can break these limbs. So what the tree does is it sheds is leaves, this reduces the stress on the tree and prevents permanent damage to it. The fallen leaves also have an advantage if they are not blown away, they collect around the base of the tree and act as a form of insulation which reduces root damage from frost or snow.
