Fig. 2. Temperature profiles during (a) passive and (b) active composting (for active aeration treatment, on days where there are two temperature readings, the first ones were obtained 1 to 2 h before the windrows were turned and the second ones (i.e., t14, t21, t29, t50, t70, and t84) were obtained immediately after turning)
