Fall colors

every fall or autumn trees let their leaves fall after humans could enjoy very different fall colors,oak leaves color in red, cherries in yellow, others in brown, fall or autumn has many colors or colours
Isn't it beautiful to see
all the colors of autumn leaves?

Why and how do leaves change color in fall?

Why does an oak leaf turn red/brown?
Where do the yellows and oranges come from?

Leaves are Nature's great invention. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. Leaves take carbon dioxide = CO2 from the air.
Then plants use the sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose - a special sugar.
Glucose is food for many living beings, used for energy and as building material to grow.

We gave the process of turning water and carbon dioxide = CO2 into sugar the name
photosynthesis.
Translated: "putting together with light."

Plants and some animals use
chlorophyll
to make photosynthesis happen.
Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color.

in autumn fall less light is provided so chlorophyll disappears and leaves are coloring. Nature conservation protects trees through nature education, so coming generations will enjoy fall colors too
Light gets shorter as summer ends and autumn comes, giving a signal to the trees and plants to prepare for winter.

Photosynthesis needs light. If there isn't enough trees will rest, lower their metabolism using the food stored during the summer.
Less light and photosynthesis isn't working - so the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves.
As the bright green fades away, brown, red, yellow and orange colors are shown.
These colors have been in the leaves all year long, but the green chlorophyll covered them up.

Spanish oak with fall colors

Red and purple coloring is produced in fall when glucose is trapped in the leaves. Sunlight and the cool nights of fall are turning this glucose into a red color. The brown color of trees is made from wastes left in the leaves.

So, you see there is a wonderful plan for all life on Earth.
For thousands of years humans try to understand these wonders.

Our organization Bear Springs Blossom
Nature Conservation
provides you with insight, with facts.
Knowledge makes life easier.
Monarchs find food during their migration in fall on Evergreen Sumac blossoms. Nature conservation protects native plants, most of our flora colors in fall autumn

Biology: Junipers, Latin juniperus ashei: trees, shrubs found all over Earth - preferring limestone. juniperus ashei native to Texas for millions of years. Nature conservation, nature education explains why the Texas Hill Country has too many junipers. Native Texas Junipers trees grow up to 80 ft for 200 years. Texas Cedar juniper provides juniper berries for birds, makes good mulch, helps native plants to grow. Nursery plant Juniper is important for nature conservation, essential to pollution reducationJunipers

Mammals
Lectures + presentations: B+S+B protects oceans, whales + dolphins from overfishing to over-polluting seas. Oceans stabilize climate, whales balance the life in oceans, but are endangered by greenhouse gases. Nature conservation reduces climate change + air pollution internationally. Earth's ocean food chain needs whales, dolphins + porpoises - earth oceans food feeds over 1 billion humans
Nature conservation news: Black bears in US for 2 million years. Black Bears, Latin Ursus americanus, US native, Southern United States black bears remain in protected mountains, woodlands, parks, preserves. Bears who wander outside nature preserves to find new habitats are endangered
History: Before humans killed all Buffalo Latin bison bison, bison roamed on US prairies without overgrazing, conserving grass prairies. America's prairies were created by Buffaloes, huge mammals, once food + living for Native Americans
Overgrazing destroys land, endangers Nature, causing climate change + global warming. Overgrazing is related to human health problems, overgrazed meadows reduce drinking water supply, multiply water contamination. Overgrazing causes erosion, destroys the native plants food for wildlife, food supply for humans
