Fig. 4

CO2 emission mass flow, ambient air and silage material temperatures of the silage barrels (mean values) containing each silage treatment during the first aerobic emission measurement period (AEMP1). The aerobic storage period can be split into four phases, as shown in the example of the CON treatment (Table S6). Treatments: treatment containing no additive (CON), treatment containing a biological additive (BIO), treatment containing a chemical additive (CHE). Please note the logarithmic scaling of the left Y-axis (CO2 emission mass flow) and the non-zero right Y-axis (temperature). The CO2 emission mass flow is calculated based on the gas concentration analysis via gas chromatography ("Set-up and procedure of the aerobic emission measurement periods" and "Measurement of the silage emission mass flow rate" section)
