Annual autumn leaf drop in temperate zones is caused by the abscission of the mature leaves from the growth season in response to the approach of cold winter weather. Abscission (from Latin ab- 'away' and scindere 'to cut') is the shedding of various parts of an organism , such as a plant dropping a leaf , fruit , flower , or seed .
The leaves are thick, tough, and scale-like, triangular, 3–4 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long, 1–3 cm (1 ⁄ 2 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) broad at the base, and with sharp edges and tips. According to the scientist Christopher Lusk, the leaves have an average lifespan of 24 years [4] and so cover most of the tree except for the older branches.
A tree (top) and its corresponding 3-leaf power (bottom) In the mathematical area of graph theory, a k-leaf power of a tree T is a graph G whose vertices are the leaves of T and whose edges connect pairs of leaves whose distance in T is at most k. That is, G is an induced subgraph of the graph power , induced by the leaves of T.
