Falling into autumn: Pretty reds can mean pretty dry and warm

by

Autumn’s arrival adorns nature with vibrant hues, and among them, crimson stands out. While its beauty captivates, it also whispers a tale of changing seasons.

Leaves donning scarlet cloaks signify a decrease in chlorophyll, nature’s pigment responsible for photosynthesis. As daylight shortens, trees perceive this as a signal to prepare for winter. Chlorophyll production slows, unmasking hidden pigments like carotenoids, which give leaves their golden and orange tones.

However, the presence of anthocyanins brings about the stunning hues of red. These antioxidant pigments protect leaves from the harsh winter sun and act as a warning to insects and animals that the tree is no longer a reliable food source.

So, as we revel in autumn’s colorful tapestry, let us remember that the vibrant reds not only paint a breathtaking spectacle but also herald the onset of drier, warmer days.
