In this paper, four compost samples originated from pruning waste, leaves, and grass clippings were collected each from a different pilot pile at different stage of the composting process: initial non-composed material (C1); 2 months old at the end of tAbstract:
To study the maturity and stability degree of pruning waste, four compost samples originated from pruning waste, leaves, and grass clippings were collected each from a different pilot pile at different stage of the composting process: initial nondecomposed material (C1); 2 months old at the end of tread more

Compost stability and maturity evaluation — a literature review
TL;DR: A review of the effectiveness of a number of the most commonly used tests for both compost stability and maturity, to determine the most reliable approach.

Respiration and enzymatic activities as indicators of stabilization of sewage sludge composting
TL;DR: It appears that SOUR and the enzymatic activities are useful parameters to monitor the stabilization of SS compost, since the former accelerate the composting process by catalyzing the OM stabilization.

Compost stability and maturity evaluation — a literature reviewA paper submitted to the Journal of Environmental Engineering and Science.
TL;DR: Finished compost should be both stable (resistant to decomposition) and mature (ready for a particular end-use) so that it can safely be packaged and transported, and not cause adverse effects.

Effect of microbiological inocula on chemical and physical properties and microbial community of cow manure compost
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the microbiological inocula to efficiently decompose animal manures into mature compost was studied, and the results showed that the inocula was able to facilitate the microbial diversity of the compost.

Carbon mineralization from organic wastes at different composting stages during their incubation with soil.
TL;DR: In this paper, the decomposition of seven different organic waste mixtures prepared with sewage sludges, animal manures, city refuse and industrial and plant residues, was studied during their aerobic incubation with soil.
