Abstract
This research aimed at assessing the chemical changes occurring in DOM extracted from different composting substrates by means of 13C CPMAS NMR spectroscopy. During composting a reduction of carbohydrates and an increase of aromatic, phenolic, carboxylic and carbonylic C were observed. The highest increase in alkyl C and the lowest increase in aromatic C were explained by the presence of hardly degradable pine needles in the substrate, whereas the highest reduction in carbohydrates and the highest increase of the alkyl C/O-alkyl C ratio were attributed to the presence of highly degradable materials such as spent yeast from beer production.
