dead leaves fallen under trees form a layer of DUFF which protects the ground from moisture evaporation
The palm tree is one type of tree that does not have traditional leaves. Instead, palm trees have large, fan-shaped or feather-like fronds that function similarly to leaves. These fronds help the palm tree to photosynthesize and grow.
Yes, some trees in the Caribbean, such as deciduous trees, do lose their leaves during a dry season or in response to environmental cues like changes in daylight. However, many trees in the Caribbean are evergreen and retain their leaves year-round.
Trees losing leaves in summer may be due to stress, such as lack of water, pests, or disease. Ensure the tree is properly watered and consider applying a layer of mulch to retain moisture. Prune any dead or diseased branches and monitor for pests or diseases that may be causing leaf loss.
Conifers do not shed their leaves like deciduous trees do. Instead, they retain their foliage year-round, with some species shedding older needles gradually over time. This helps conifers survive harsh winters and dry conditions.
Most deciduous trees do this. Some will hang on to their dead leaves through the winter and drop them in the spring. Deciduous trees are trees like oak and maple, leaf-bearing trees as opposed to evergreens.
Fallen trees Leaf litter Decomposing animal carcasses Rotting stumps Dry leaves Twigs and branches Dead insects Fungi growing on decaying matter
Dead logs or fallen trees.
No, oak trees are not decomposers; they are producers. As a type of tree, they generate their own energy through photosynthesis and provide habitat and food for various organisms. Decomposers, such as fungi and bacteria, break down dead organic matter, including fallen leaves and dead trees, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. Oak trees can contribute to this process when they die or shed leaves, but they do not perform decomposition themselves.
Why the answer is 'Leaves', of course!

Dead
Trees do not have excess leaves in Summer,they have the number required to carry out their function.
Examples of dead organisms include animals like a deceased elephant, a bird that has fallen from its nest, or fish washed ashore. Plant examples can include fallen trees, wilted flowers, or decaying leaves. These organisms contribute to ecosystems by providing nutrients for soil and serving as food for decomposers.
Most deciduous trees lose their leaves in Autumn . . . trees like maples, linden trees, elm trees; however, oddly enough, many oak trees do not lose their leaves in Autumn. The leaves turn colors, and then die and turn brown. The dead leaves take their time to drop off. In my area, some oaks still have their dead leaves as late as early Spring.
The easy answer to that is evergreen leaves! It's not that simple though, for instance some trees manage to keep their dead leaves over winter and some deciduous trees keep their leaves over winter.
A tree planted too close to your house may fall onto the roof in a storm. A fallen tree can block traffic. A tree in a drought can be ignited easily and cause a forest fire that destroys many homes. Fallen leaves on a lawn need raking during Fall. Fallen leaves get caught in a gutter may cause problem during snow melt. A tree, dead or alive, is very expensive to be removed by a professional. Other than these human-induced scenarios, the trees are very beneficial.
