Greenhouse gas emission characteristics during kitchen waste composting with biochar and zeolite addition
This study investigated the effects of biochar and zeolite on GHGs emissions during composting. The findings demonstrated that biochar could reduce N2O and CH4 cumulative releases by 47.7 %and 47.9 %, respectively, and zeolite could reduce the cumulative release of CO2 by 28.4 %. Meanwhile, the biochar and zeolite addition could reduce the abundance of potential core microorganisms associated with GHGs emissions. In addition, biochar and zeolite reduced N2O emissions by regulating the abundance of nitrogen conversion functional genes. Biochar and zeolite were shown to reduce the impact of bacterial communities on GHGs emis...
