2020/6/22/ · The basic requirement of the compost to be used in the soil safely is the degree of stability of with the microbial activity in the compost. ... pH and moisture levels need to be optimized for ...
2021/11/10/ · The application of biochar in combination with chemical fertilizers could change the microbial community structure, enhance the microbial metabolic activity, and improve soil quality (Tian et al., 2016). Therefore, we hypothesized that understanding the response of microbial communities to biochar or biochar-based fertilizer could enable more
2016/6/24/ · But the activity of microorganisms is affected by physical properties of soil; most predominant factors are moisture content and temperature of soil (Borowik & Wyszkowska, 2016a, 2016bCenciani et
2024/11/1/ · In this study, CH 4 and N 2 O emissions at different phases of SS composting have been investigated, aiming to explore the impact of PS addition and the possible way of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. High-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze the microbial community succession and to explore the microbiological mechanism
2018/11/18/ · Oxygen is an important parameter for organic-waste composting, and continuous control of the oxygen in a composting pile may be beneficial. The oxygen consumption rate can be used to measure the
2021/1/1/ · The optimum moisture content needed for composting is 50%–60% by weight because it provides optimum water to balance microbial activity but not so much that airflow is blocked (high moisture content causes microbial growth inhibition) (Trautmann & Krasny, 1998). The moisture content was calculated by weighing after heating in an oven at 105°C.
