What You Need to Know
Thermophilic composting drives microbial decomposition of organic matter, producing CO₂, CH₄, and humic substances that stabilize carbon. Cover crops fix atmospheric nitrogen and increase C:N ratio, fostering microbial biomass. Mulching and biochar create porous habitats that improve aeration and water retention, reducing methane emissions.
