Abstract

In this chapter, compost stability has been reviewed in general and in relation to microbial activity. The evolution of microbial activity during composting is discussed. Another issue that has been reviewed is the relationship between temperature and microbial activity during the composting of biowaste. Different methods to measure compost stability, as well as chemical, physical and biological methods have been considered. Moreover, an overview is given about the implications of the use of non-stabilized compost and about the benefits of the use of compost in agriculture.
