Predicting Mineral N Release during Decomposition of Organic Wastes in Soil by Use of the SOILN_NO Model

Figure 2

Simulated and observed mineral N [g N m⁻²] from the laboratory incubation experiment. SS1 = raw, primary (before stabilising or sanitary treatments) sewage sludge, SS2 = stabilised, sanitary treated and digested (anaerobic) sewage sludge, OW3 = primary source sorted (not composted) organic waste, OW4 = easily composted (aerobic) organic waste, SS5 = rotator treated (composted, and mixed with bark and chips) sewage sludge compost, MF = meat flour and CF = cow fodder.
