TL;DRAbstract

Presently, the actual environmental load from farmland applications of composts has been less mentioned. This chapter aims, first, at giving a detailed description on the distributions of various chemical species of elements including macronutrients, micronutrients, and heavy metals in various composted solids and composts-amended soil, and then, examining the feasibility of sustainable applications of composted biosolids, depending on the farmland nutrient-balance principle. A good understanding of the nutrient balance in environment is believed to be of great benefit to the sustainable reuses of biosolid wastes.
