Compost stability and maturity evaluation: a literature review (2013, background): “100 g–1 OM in 8 different mature composts, while Estrada et al. (1987, as cited in Mathur et al. 1993) saw an even wider range of CECs, from 36.9 to 228.6 mequiv. 100 g–1 OM, in 25 mature composts. Bustamante et al.

The use of compost in urban green areas – A review for practical application (2006, background): “In testing compost, the best results have been found when the soil has been poor in nutrients before the application of compost (Roe, 1998) and little or no effect if the soil has been relatively nutrient rich (Ferrini et al., 2005; Gilman, 2004). Rose and Wang (1996) report that compost and municip”
Relation between biochar properties and effects on seed germination and plant development (2016, background): “According to Zucconi et al. (1985) and Emino and Warman (2004), GI values <50% suggest a high phytotoxicity; 50–80% suggest moderate phytotoxicity and >80% suggest no phytotoxicity.”
