It's an article published by an American university and 90% of the planet lives in the northern hemisphere, so it doesn't seem like much to be in a twist about.

I live in the northern hemisphere, there's still no such thing as a "fall" in my vernacular!

Perhaps it depends also on whether the forests in your region are primarily evergreen or deciduous (with falling leaves..)
