Evolution of Nutrient and Microbial Composition and Maturity During the Composting of Different Plant-Derived Waste

Composting is an environmentally friendly treatment technology that recycles and sanitizes organic solid waste. This study aimed to assess the evolution of nutrients, maturity, and microbial communities during the composting of different plant-derived waste. The composting process was conducted over 49 days using three types of plant-derived waste: wheat bran (WB), peanut straw (PS), and poplar leaf litter (PL).
