Distinct soil microbial diversity under long-term organic and conventional farming (2014, background): “Many of these genera have been found during meso- and thermophilic degradation processes of organic materials such as manure or compost (Ryckeboer et al., 2003) and are known to be capable of degrading various complex organic materials (Watanabe et al., 2007; Charbonneau et al., 2012).”
Composting of animal manures and chemical criteria for compost maturity assessment. A review. (2009, background): “Microorganisms: OM decomposition is carried out by many different groups of microbial populations (Ryckeboer et al., 2003).”
Long-term and legacy effects of manure application on soil microbial community composition (2018, background): “Firmicutes is considered a major copiotrophic microbial group and some Firmicutes genera play important roles in the manure degradation process (Ryckeboer et al. 2003).”
