Abstract
The question of the possible effect of adding an additional amount of nitrogen to the litter on the decomposition rate of forest litter is considered. An integral model is proposed in the form of a target functional of variational optimization, which is optimized and it has been shown that the average integral value of lignin, having a positive correlation with the specified volume of nitrogen, can lead to a decrease in the decomposition rate of the litter to a minimum. The transition through the minimum points at the same time indicates additional possibilities of the constructed model to cover also the results of the opposite nature, when there is an increase in the decomposition rate.
