Long lasting and packaged, making it convenient and popular as
a mulch. When wetted and dried, it can form a dense crust that
does not allow water to soak in. When dry it can also burn,
producing a smoldering fire.

Grass clippings, from mowed lawns are sometimes collected and used elsewhere as mulch. Grass clippings are dense and tend to mat down, so are mixed with tree leaves or rough compost to provide aeration and to facilitate their decomposition without smelly putrefaction.

Thick layers of entire leaves, especially of maples and oaks, can form a soggy mat in winter and spring which can impede the new growth lawn grass and other plants. Dry leaves are used as winter mulches to protect plants from freezing and thawing in areas with cold winters, they are normally removed during spring.

Leaves

 Leaves from deciduous trees, which drop their foliage in
the autumn/fall. They tend to be dry and blow around in
the wind, so are often chopped or shredded before
application. As they decompose they adhere to each other
but also allow water and moisture to seep down to the
soil surface.

Organic mulching: grass clippings, leaves, hay, straw, kitchen scraps comfrey, shredded bark, whole bark nuggets, sawdust, shells, woodchips, shredded newspaper, cardboard, wool, animal manure, etc. Many of these materials also act as a direct composting system, such as the mulched clippings of a mulching lawn mower, or other organics applied as sheet composting.
