Abstract

This study assesses the distribution of nutrients, trace elements, and heavy metals across different granulometric fractions of municipal solid waste (MSW) compost from three regions: Kaunas and Alytus (Lithuania) and Daugavpils (Latvia). Samples were collected from mechanical biological treatment plants (MBTPs) and fractionated into six different granulometric fractions (>5 mm, 5–2.5 mm, 2.5–1 mm, 1–0.5 mm, 0.5–0.2 mm, and
