Effects of carbon-based additives and ventilation rate on nitrogen loss and microbial community during chicken manure composting.

Aerobic composting is a sustainable method for chicken manure recycling, while its unsuitable porosity and carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) may result in high nitrogen loss and incomplete composting. With the aim to investigate the effects of carbon-based additives and two ventilation rates on chicken...
