New molecular and physiologicaltools now offer new insights into the quotblack boxquot of decayingmaterial. An unforeseen diversity of microorganisms are involved in compostingopening up an enormous potential for future process and product improvements.In this book the views of scientists engineers and endusers on compostproduction process optimisation standardisation and product application arepresented. «
