Are oak trees decomposers?

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.

Wha kind of trees lose their leaves in the autumn?

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.
