leaf fall
Trees lose foliage
Leaf fall is the seasonal dropping of leaves from deciduous trees, typically occurring in autumn as days shorten and temperatures drop.
The term describes both the process and the period when it happens.
The forest floor was carpeted with debris from the leaf fall.
In British English, leaf fall sometimes serves as an alternative name for autumn itself.
