How does green turn to brown?

Hi. I have tons of chopped down trees. Some have been there for a few weeks, and some are fresh. Those which are fresh have copious green foiliage. The others have copious brown foliage.

Question:
How do the green nitrogen-rich leaves turn into brown carbon-rich leaves. They're the same thing, just two weeks apart.

In general: Brown compost materials are dry, woody, and long dead, and include wood chips, straw, twigs, dry leaves, sawdust, and corn stalks. Green compost materials are wet and nitrogen-rich, and include grass clippings, food scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, and fresh leaves.
