Effect of C/N on composting of pig manure with sawdust

TL;DR: Co-composting of pig manure with sawdust at a low initial C/N would require a composting longer than 63 days, and, the high salinity due to the large amount of pork manure would pose a potential inhibition on plant growth.

SE—Structures and Environment

TL;DR: Gaseous emissions and the biological turnover of organic household wastes were studied under controlled conditions in a compost reactor (55°C, moisture content 65% w/w, O 2 concentration 16% in compost off-gas).

Carbon, nitrogen balances and greenhouse gas emission during cattle feedlot manure composting.

TL;DR: Emission of 368.4 kg C Mg(-1) (CO2-C equivalent) was greater than the initial TC content of SBM, raising the question of the net benefits of composting on C sequestration.

Introduction to soil microbiology

M. Alexander
TL;DR: In this paper, the biological processes that take place in the soil and their importance to soil fertility, plant growth, and environmental quality are investigated from both descriptive and functional viewpoints, including microbial ecology, the carbon and nitrogen cycles, mineral transformation, and ecological interrelationships.
