When I was chopping away I also noticed that the leaves blocks of the trees were actually being picked up and I could place a block of leaves on the ground.
Leaves have something called "leaf decay", that's the reason they disappear when chopping away a tree or placing them on the ground. Sometimes leaves drop saplings to the ground when they decay. Unlike Minecraft, items are not picked up automatically when walking near them, you pick up items by punching. Try Calinou's
Item Drop Mod if you want that feature.
