Forestry woodchip and spent mushroom compost have commercial potential as sustainable residues in biological chemical processes for energy production. This study focuses on the evaluation of agri-food industry waste valorization, with aim to reduce valuable biomass utilization production without decreasing process quality, thereby pursuing economic environmental advantages. Burning trials were ...

We studied the effects of applying different composts (urban organic waste, green waste, manure and sewage sludge), mineral fertilizer and compost plus mineral fertilizer on chemical, biological and soil microbiological parameters over a 12-year period. The organic C and total N levels in soils were increased by all compost and compost + N treatments. Microbial biomass C was significantly (P £ ...
