“…In this study, the relative abundance of the genus of Arthrographis in the maturation phase was very high (29.9%), suggesting that this genus may also play an important role in the formation of humus. The genus Thermomyces was also reported as the dominant genus that might be the main functional groups to degrade hemicellulose in mesophilic, thermophilic, and mature phase during composting of medicinal herbal residues [60].…”

There are few reports on the material transformation and dominant microorganisms in the process of greening waste (GW) composting. In this study, the target microbial community succession and material transformation were studied in GW composting by using MiSeq sequencing and PICRUSt tools. The results showed that the composting process could be divided into four phases. Each phase of the composting appeared in turn and was unable to jump. In the calefactive phase, microorganisms decompose small molecular organics such as FA to accelerate the arrival of the thermophilic phase. In the thermophilic phase, thermophilic microorganisms decompose HA and lignocellulose to produce FA. While in the cooling phase, microorganisms degrade HA and FA for growth and reproduction. In the maturation phase, microorganisms synthesize humus using FA, amino acid and lignin nuclei as precursors. In the four phases of the composting, different representative genera of bacteria and fungi were detected. Streptomyces, Myceliophthora and Aspergillus, maintained high abundance in all phases of the compost. Correlation analysis indicated that bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi had synergistic effect on the degradation of lignocellulose. Therefore, it can accelerate the compost process by maintaining the thermophilic phase and adding a certain amount of FA in the maturation phase.

“…Through composting and vermicomposting technologies, these by-products can be used to improve relevant soil processes and provide nutrients [27]. Composting has become a very important sustainable approach to recycle medicinal herbal residues [29] and it allows the conversion of organic waste into stabilised soil amendments, under aerobic conditions [25].…”

Without a Sustainable Waste Management (SWM) system, the growing demand for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) can also lead to a considerable increase in the waste generated by the industry. Since MAP residues have a notable potential to be valorised, the implementation of Circular Economy (CE) solutions can play a central role in converting waste into economic opportunities, while fostering a sustainable planet. CE helps to mitigate environmental and social risks caused by the accumulation of biomass by turning waste into valuable products. A systematic review was conducted, aiming to identify potential applications for the valorisation of MAP residues under a sustainable approach. A total number of 47 studies were analysed, providing a novel compilation of possibilities for decision makers in the MAP industry to develop new products for crop management or new businesses in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, chemical, paper, or building industries. Researchers in this field have focused more on the industrial value of MAP residues than on the empirical assessment of environmental and economic benefits. Further investigation should be undertaken to present empirical applications and to develop a decision support system to assess the sustainable performance of valorisation options.

“…The addition of microbial inoculants can increase microbial activity, accelerate organic matter degradation, release more precursors, and increase the humification degree of compost products [34,35,40]. The type, amount, and inoculation time of microbial inoculants [9,10,35,38,41,42] have significant effects on the formation of HS during composting. Thus, it is essential to fully explore the correct use of microbial inoculants to improve the HA levels.…”

“…Given that various multifunctional microbe populations at different periods drive the composting process [3], it may be justified to inoculate specific microbial inoculants during different periods to reduce competition among microbes [12] and therefore accelerate the humification process. Some studies showed that composting can be considerably promoted by inoculation during the cooling period [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. The multistage inoculation of composite microbial inoculants during the entire composting process also significantly increased the HA level [10,38,42].…”

“…The addition of microbial inoculants is also a main bioaugmentation strategy and can markedly increase the levels of humic substances (HS) during composting [3]. However, the efficiency of this approach is sometimes uncertain because of the differences in inoculation methods and the quantity and types of the microbial inoculant [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Therefore, the improvement of the humification process with microbial inoculants during composting is an important research field.…”

Stimulating compost humification is an important way for carbon sequestration and that in itself is significant, especial under the context of carbon neutrality. However, a longer humification cycle occurs in the traditional composting. Microbial inoculants markedly increase the formation of humus during composting, which attracts extensive attention. Microbial inoculants as a bioaugmentation technology, their perfermances on compost humification are significantly influenced by material nature, microbial species, inoculation dosages, and inoculation methods. So far, the effects of microbial inoculants on compost maturity and microbial diversity are known though previous published reviews, while the overview of their regulatory role in humus formation still be relatively absent. This review innovatively summarized the promotion effects of microbial inoculants on humification process and related biological mechanisms during composting. Lastly, further research on the development of microbial inoculants and the optimization of inoculation methods will promote humification process and produce high quality compost.
