impact of sequestered carbon over a 60-year life of a red maple during a 100-year assessment period was 901 kg CO 2 e minus an investment of 92.9 kg CO 2 e for end-of-life disposal ( Ingram, 2012 ). Results from these two targeted studies illustrate that

sometimes cause a waste disposal problem by the use of lye peeling. Alternative methods such as steam peeling ( Garcia and Barrett, 2006 ) and abrasion peeling ( Emadi et al., 2008 ) have been examined but there are still some limitations with waste of
resource that should be preserved. A parallel environmental issue is the disposal of agricultural wastes. Composts from agricultural wastes have the potential to replace a significant proportion of peat in the growth medium of potted ornamentals ( Burger et
