Roses are an important crop for the floricultural sector of Kenya and roses are a perennial crop and under continuous production for six to ten years. The cultivation produces large quantities of green waste, up to 50 kg per hectare per day. In this experiment we aimed to gain insight in the decomposition patterns underlying rose waste composting and to identify co-metabolisms of ligneous materials. Samples were taken during a six-month experiment and analyzed by pyrolysis-GC/MS (see manuscript for analytical details).
