This groundbreaking book explores the science and innovation behind zoocomposting – composting facilitated by animals such as earthworms, black soldier flies (BSF), and termites. It presents the high‑rate vermicomposting (HRVC) paradigm, a revolutionary approach that enables the rapid conversion of phytowaste, even toxic and recalcitrant plant materials, into potent organic fertilizers without the need for pre‑composting or manure supplementation. It details the design and performance of advanced vermireactors, the transformative effects of vermicomposting on plant growth, and the potential of BSF and termites in waste degradation. By tracing the history and mechanisms of both microbial and animal‑assisted composting, this book offers valuable insights into sustainable waste management and soil fertility enhancement, making it an essential resource for researchers, environmentalists, and agricultural innovators. It serves as a practical guide for professionals and researchers working in agriculture, soil science and sustainability in general.Key Features:Explores HRVC, BSF composting, and termite‑assisted waste degradation for efficient organic waste recyclingPresents cutting‑edge reactor systems that accelerate the decomposition of phytowaste, including toxic and recalcitrant plant materials, without pre‑composting or manure supplementationHighlights the benefits of zoocompost products in improving soil fertility, enhancing plant growth, and supporting eco‑friendly waste management practices

In recent years, the importance of biogas energy has risen manifold and has become universal. This is due to the realization that biogas capture and utilization has great potential in controlling global warming. By capturing biogas wherever it is formed, we not only tap a source of clean energy, but we also prevent the escape of methane to the atmosphere. Given that methane has 25 times greater global warming potential than CO2, methane capture through biogas energy in this manner can contribute substantially towards global warming control.

This book underscores the re-emergence of the ozone hole problem and deals with it in its current context of exacerbating global warming. It traces the history of the ozone hole from the stage of formation of the stratospheric ozone ‘layer’, millions of years ago, into the late 20th century when the anthropogenic destruction of that ozone was discovered.  The chapters are written to bring the the reader up to the present day.  Factors that influence stratospheric ozone are discussed and the ways to halt ozone depletion are cataloged.  And more complex interrelationships are being discovered between ozone depletion and two other global concerns: climate change and ocean acidification. This book sheds light on the intricacy of the situation and its portants.The book will be useful to students and researchers looking for a current overview of the ozone hole problem.
