Evidence of thermophilic waste decomposition at a landfill exhibiting elevated temperature regions
Waste Management, 124, 26–35.
author keywords: Elevated temperature; Landfill; Methanogenic activity; Microbial community
MeSH headings : Euryarchaeota / genetics; Methane; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Temperature; Waste Disposal Facilities
TL;DR:
This study demonstrated that from a microbiological standpoint, landfills may maintain active methanogenic processes while experiencing temperatures in the thermophilic regime (<72 °C), and microbial community shifts in response to temperature perturbations.

author keywords: Food waste; Anaerobic digestion; Biochemical methane potential
MeSH headings : Air Pollutants / analysis; Anaerobiosis; Food Services; Garbage; Methane / analysis; Particle Size; Refuse Disposal; Solid Waste / analysis; Waste Management
TL;DR:
Starch exhibited the most complete consumption and particle size did not significantly affect methane yields for any of the tested substrates, and Lipids represented 59-70% of the methane potential of the fresh substrates.

Comparison of Field Measurements to Methane Emissions Models at a New Landfill
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 50(17), 9432–9441.
MeSH headings : Air Pollutants; Climate Change; Humans; Methane; Refuse Disposal; Solid Waste; Waste Disposal Facilities
TL;DR:
The results suggest the need for measurements at additional landfills to evaluate the accuracy of the tested models to young landfilling, and consistently overestimated annual methane emissions by a factor ranging from 4-31.

Decomposition and carbon storage of selected paper products in laboratory-scale landfills
SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 532, 70–79.
author keywords: Landfills; Municipal solid waste; Paper products; Anaerobic decomposition; Biochemical methane potential; Carbon storage
MeSH headings : Biodegradation, Environmental; Carbon / analysis; Carbon Sequestration; Cellulose; Climate Change; Laboratories; Lignin; Methane; Models, Chemical; Paper; Refuse Disposal / methods; Waste Disposal Facilities
TL;DR:
The methane yields, carbon storage factors and the extent of cellulose and hemicellulose decomposition all consistently show that papers made from mechanical pulps are less degradable than those made from chemical pulps where essentially all lignin was chemically removed.

author keywords: anaerobic decomposition; CuO oxidation; lignin; HSQC; NMR
MeSH headings : Anaerobiosis; Biotechnology; Cellulose / chemistry; Lignin / chemistry; Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; Plants / chemistry; Wood / chemistry
TL;DR:
The 2D NMR and chemical degradation methods revealed slight reductions in β-O-4 linkages for HW and ONP, with no depolymerization of lignin in any substrate.

Measurement of carbon storage in landfills from the biogenic carbon content of excavated waste samples
WASTE MANAGEMENT, 33(10), 2001–2005.
author keywords: Landfill; Carbon storage; Municipal solid waste
MeSH headings : Biodegradation, Environmental; Carbon / analysis; Cellulose / metabolism; Kentucky; Lignin / metabolism; Methane / metabolism; North Carolina; Polysaccharides / metabolism; Refuse Disposal / methods; Waste Disposal Facilities
TL;DR:
The fraction of biogenic carbon that is not reactive in the landfill environment and therefore stored was derived for samples of excavated waste by measurement of the total organic carbon, its biogenic fraction, and the remaining methane potential.

Wood Biodegradation in Laboratory-Scale Landfills
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 45(16), 6864–6871.
TL;DR:
Wood species have unique methane yields that should be considered in the development of national inventories of methane production and carbon storage and the current assumption of uniform biodegradability is not appropriate.
