Digital illustration of fall leaves in yellow, red and grey blue colors on black background. Pattern of tree branches has dressed themselves for autumn foliage. Deciduous plants were traditionally believed to shed their leaves in autumn primarily because the high costs involved in their maintenance would outweigh the benefits from photosynthesis during the winter period of low light availability and cold temperatures. In many cases, this turned out to be oversimplistic – other factors involved include insect predation, water loss, and damage from high winds or snowfall. The phenomenom of autumn foliage attracts many tourist particularly in northern hemisphere.
