Elucidating the microbiome of the sustainable peat replacers composts and nature management residues Hasselt University KU Leuven Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
Sustainable peat alternatives, such as composts and management residues, are considered to have beneficial microbiological characteristics compared to peat-based substrates. Studies comparing microbiological characteristics of these three types of biomass are, however, lacking. This study examined if and how microbiological characteristics of subtypes of composts and management residues differ from peat-based substrates, and how feedstock and ...
