Composting of animal manures and chemical criteria for compost maturity assessment. A review
TL;DR: The basic concepts of the composting process and how manure characteristics can influence its performance are explained and a summary of those factors such as nitrogen losses, organic matter humification and compost maturity which affect the quality of composts produced by manure composting is presented.

Use of biochar as bulking agent for the composting of poultry manure: Effect on organic matter degradation and humification
Bruno de Oliveira Dias,Carlos Alberto Silva,Fábio Satoshi Higashikawa,Asunción Roig,Miguel A. Sánchez-Monedero +4 more
TL;DR: Enrichment of poultry manure with biochar reduced the losses of nitrogen in the mature composts, although the use of sawdust would be more efficient in preserving the organic matter and nitrogen inThe mature compost.

Reducing Nitrogen Loss during Poultry Litter Composting Using Biochar
TL;DR: Results indicate a faster decomposition of PL if amended with BC, and biochar might be an ideal bulking agent for composting N-rich materials.

Nutrient, Carbon, and Mass Loss during Composting of Beef Cattle Feedlot Manure
TL;DR: In this paper, the amount of nutrient, C, and mass loss during composting was determined by the difference between the amounts at the beginning and at the end of the composting process.

Ammonia volatilization during aerobic and anaerobic manure decomposition
Holger Kirchmann,E. Witter +1 more
TL;DR: Ammonia volatilization, nitrogen immobilization, carbon decomposition and formation of volatile fatty acids were investigated in a laboratory incubation experiment with fresh poultry manure, to which increasing amounts of straw were added as mentioned in this paper.

The effect of airborne sulphur and nitrogen deposition on aquatic and terrestrial heathland vegetation
TL;DR: The change from heather into grass dominated healthlands appeared to be caused by the high atmospheric nitrogen enrichment as mentioned in this paper, which led to the disappearance of all submerged plant species, caused by too low CO2 levels in the water layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic matter and nutrients in fresh and mature farmyard manure
TL;DR: In this paper, the changes in the content and forms of organic matter and nutrients in fresh and 3-month stabilized FYM were examined, and the maturity process produced a significant increase in total N, water-soluble substances and lignin contents, and a decrease in C, lipid and hemicellulose plus cellulose contents as well as in the C/N ratio.
