Abstract:The study investigated the effects of different aeration intensities on organic matter (OM) degradation, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) as well as humification during plant residue composting. Three intermittent aeration intensities of 0.16 (T1), 0.38 (T2) and 0.68 (T3) L/kg DM/min with 30 min on/30 min off were conducted on a lab-scale composting experiment. Results showed that OM mineralization in T3 was more evident than T1 and T2, resulting in the highest humification degree and humic acids (HA) content. H… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
