There is no such perfect word in English to get the exact image of fallen leaf….however in American usage the process of falling of leaves in autumn described as “fall-foliage”. May be it comes near to your requirement. There is a famous poem from John Keats “To Autumn” brilliantly giving the season’s beauty in Autumn, but even there is no perfect one word for this process of falling of leaf.

There doesn’t seem to be a unique noun for that idea. Maybe a hyphenated “adjective-noun” pair would do it. Maybe “dying-leaf” or “mouldering-leaf” could work.
