It summarizes the literature on the impact of compost fertilization on the soil plant system and current knowledge. Most researchers have reported that the application of compost could improve the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the soil, organic matter of the soil and soil nutrient status. Increased SOM concentrations result in all long-term compost application trials. However, because of their greater amount of stable carbon, mature composts increase SOM much better than fresh and immature composts. Moreover, compost contributes to the stabilization and increase of crop productivity and crop quality due to its various beneficial effects on physical, chemical and biological soil properties. As a result, most researchers have shown that compost has the equalizing effect of annual/seasonal variations in soil water, air and heat balance, plant nutrient availability, and thus final crop yields. Good results are also seen mainly because of the slow release of nutrients and their availability in compost-combined fertilization schemes.
