- Decay of Litter Litter such as leaves falls to the forest floor, where the action of insects and bacteria initiates the decay process. Let A be the amount of litter present, in grams per square meter, as a function of time t in years. If the litter falls at a constant rate of L grams per square meter per year, and if it decays at a constant proportional rate of k per year, then the limiting value of A is R=L/k. For this exercise and the next, we suppose that at time t=0, the forest floor is clear of litter. a. If D is the difference between the limiting value and A, so that D=RA, then D is an exponential function of time. Find the initial value of D in terms of R. b. The yearly decay factor for D is ek. Find a formula for D in term of R and k. Reminder:(ab)c=abc. c.
