TL;DR:
A life-cycle model was developed to estimate GHG emissions for three gas treatment cases (passive venting, flare, CH4 conversion to electricity) and four decay rates and shows that when comparing single-point GWP values, the choice of static versus dynamic is relatively unimportant for most landfills.

Case study comparison of functional vs. organic stability approaches for assessing threat potential at closed landfills in the USA
WASTE MANAGEMENT, 75, 415–426.
author keywords: Post-closure care; Leachate; Landfill gas; Settlement; EPCC methodology
MeSH headings : Environmental Health; Humans; Refuse Disposal; Solid Waste; United States; Waste Disposal Facilities
TL;DR:
The results showed that longer periods of LFG and leachate management would be required using organic stability criteria relative to an approach based on functional stability, which supports previous studies that advocated for transition to a passive or inactive control stage based on a performance-based functional stability framework as a defensible mechanism for optimizing and ending regulatory PCC.

Liquid balance monitoring inside conventional, Retrofit, and bio-reactor landfill cells

author keywords: Landfill; Bioreactor; Leachate; Recirculation; Liquid balance
MeSH headings : Biodegradation, Environmental; Bioreactors; Kentucky; Refuse Disposal / instrumentation; Solid Waste / analysis; Waste Disposal Facilities; Water / analysis; Water Pollutants, Chemical
TL;DR:
The increase in net liquid volume in the As-Built cells indicates that the 37% (average) measured settlement strain in these cells cannot be due to consolidation as the waste mass did not lose any moisture but rather suggests that settlement was attributable to lubrication of waste particle contacts, softening of flexible porous materials, and additional biological degradation.

TL;DR:
Results suggest that liquid recirculation in the Retrofit cells caused a 5-8% reduction in the thickness of the waste column, consistent with the concept that bioreactor operations accelerate the rate of decomposition, but not necessarily the cumulative loss of anaerobically degradable solids.

Comparison of Bacteria and Archaea communities in municipal solid waste, individual refuse components, and leachate
FEMS MICROBIOLOGY ECOLOGY, 79(2), 465–473.

TL;DR:
Analysis of the results shows that fresh refuse is most likely not the source of methanogens in landfills, and microbial communities in the solid and leachate phases were different, indicating that both matrices must be considered when characterizing microbial diversity within a landfill.
