Grass growth slows or almost ceases during this time of year, but the plant will continue to create nutrients. When leaves are left on the grass, this reduces the ability to photosynthesize by shading available light. Leaf removal is most important with newly seeded lawns, since the young grass will die without light more quickly than the established turf. Leaves that remain on seedlings can also increase rot conditions by creating a dark, damp climate that will smother out weaker plants. Think of it like leaving a tarp on top of your lawn. When you remove a tarp that has sat for months everything under it will be dead.
