1. Maple trees lose their leaves in late autumn or winter each year. By early spring, the fallen maple leaves
on the forest floor are paper thin and brittle. These same leaves have completely decomposed by the end of
the summer. Using your understanding of nutrient recycling in ecosystems, explain the decomposition of the
maple leaves. As part of your answer, be sure to:
-explain how the maple leaves decompose
-explain why this process is beneficial to the forest ecosystem

The guide features color images of the fall foliage of 47 tree and shrub species. ... During the spring and summer the leaves have served as factories where most of ... and xanthophyll pigments which, for example, give the orange color to a carrot. Most of the year these colors are masked by great amounts of green coloring.
