Leaf decay remaining leaf skeleton. The network of veins and vascular material seen here (referred to as a leaf skeleton) is the internal structure left behind as a leaf decays. Fallen leaf that is decaying as it decomposes. Decomposition is part of the nutrient cycle, and is a vital part of recycling organic materials within the natural environment. The plant tissues undergo a natural breakdown, and micro-organisms accelerate this process.
