Dataset of composts from the North Sea Region

This dataset compiles data of sixty-seven physical, chemical and biological characteristics measured by one single laboratory per characteristic, on 119 composts from the North Sea Region. The composts were collected from different projects, made by different composting practices and started from different feedstocks. The characteristics can offer valuable information for addition of the composts to soil or growing media. More information can be found in the different sheets of the files and in the manuscript "Amery, F., Quataert, P., Vandaele, E., Smeets, H., Kristensen, H.L., Loades, K., Körner, I., Willekens, K., 2026. Compost organic matter content varied five-fold and determined compost quality across 107 composts of the North Sea Region. Waste Manage. 210, 115259, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2025.115259"
