In the autumn, changes in temperature and shorter days trigger a series of events which result in leaf fall ... Numerous plant enzymes and hormones regulate these phenomena ... Autumn leaf fall is not a great loss to a tree, firstly because its metabolism is much decelerated by the halt of photosynthesis, and secondly because the constituents are recycled and reused by the tree.

La caída de las hojas en la primavera. A pesar de su nombre, es normal en el ciclo de vida anual de muchos árboles perennes que se les caigan algunas de sus hojas o agujas. [...] Todos los árboles y arbustos renuevan su follaje cada año con la formación de hojas nuevas y la caída de las viejas. [...] Las hojas de los árboles siempreverdes pueden durar hasta varios años, a diferencia de las de árboles caducos, cuyas hojas o agujas duran uno solo y caen cada otoño e invierno.
