What type of heat energy does a compost pile release?
Chemical, microbial, physical, and solar sources are behind the type of heat energy which a compost pile releases. A compost pile's carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables interact with environmental oxygen and sunlight. Potential or stored energy is released by the temperature-coded feedings of macro- and micro-organisms within the pile, with chemical decomposition effected by actinomycetes and aerobic bacteria and fungi and physical by ants, beetles, centipedes, earthworms, flatworms, flies, millipedes, nematodes, rotifers, slugs, snails, sowbugs, spiders, and springtails.
