Compost

“C and N mineralization following organic amendment additions varied at different soil moisture levels. While biochar and compost can increase GHG emissions, optimizing water management can help reduce GHG emissions.”

“Biochar application reduced cumulative N2O–N and CH4–C emissions by 52% and 16%, respectively. Biochar-treated soil had the lowest cumulative N2O–N and CH4–C emissions, reducing net global warming potential (GWP) by 43% and 30%, respectively, compared to compost-treated soil and control”

“Manure management in the United States must move from a disposal-based model to a circular resource framework that integrates nutrient recovery, emission mitigation, precision application, supportive policy, and site-specific decision-making.”

“After 27 years of no-till in central Ohio, compost and manure raised topsoil (0-20 cm) carbon stocks about 66%-67% above fallow, with compost sequestering 0.85 Mg C/ha/yr and manure adding the most nitrogen (0.061 Mg N/ha/yr); cover crops alone gave a smaller 21%-27% gain. Higher soil carbon tracked better aggregate stability (R2 = 0.76) and lower bulk density, though compost also pushed up salinity near the surface.”
