Life-cycle inventory of a modern municipal solid waste landfill
TL;DR: The Environmental Research and Education Foundation (EREF), in conjunction with Ecobalance and researchers from the University of Wisconsin and North Carolina State, is nearing completion of a comprehensive 2-year project on the life-cycle inventory (LCI) of a modern municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a decision support tool is developed to evaluate integrated municipal solid waste management strategies in the United States, including waste collection, transfer stations, recovery, compost, combustion, and landfill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations on the methane oxidation capacity of landfill soils.
Jeffrey P. Chanton,Tarek Abichou,Claire Langford,Kurt A. Spokas,Gary R. Hater,Roger B. Green,Doug Goldsmith,Morton A. Barlaz +7 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that an effective way to increase the % oxidation of a landfill cover is to limit the amount of CH(4) delivered to it, which should not be considered as a constant value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wood biodegradation in laboratory-scale landfills.
TL;DR: Wood species have unique methane yields that should be considered in the development of national inventories of methane production and carbon storage and the current assumption of uniform biodegradability is not appropriate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of protozoan grazing on contaminant biodegradation
TL;DR: It was suggested that Predator–prey biomass ratios suggested that protozoan grazing might be influencing bacterial populations, but predation was not a significant control on anaerobic benzaldehyde biotransformation.
