Anaerobic degradation of municipal organic waste among others composting techniques improves N cycling through waste-soil-plant continuum

This study aimed to examine the effect of composting techniques of municipal organic solid waste (MSW) for (i) total carbon (C), nitrogen (N) losses, and changes in its chemical characteristics during composting phase and (ii) value of the composted materials as fertilizer when applied to vegetables...
