1. Does not say at what rate the compost was applied nor how that rate was determined.
2. No compost analysis.

Without that information it is impossible to draw any inferences or conclusions from this report.

This link describes comparative tests done to evaluate compost application  
as an effective method of improving degraded soil systems, especially for 
the  benefit of wildlife. The results were not complementary for the composts 
used. 
 
Would anyone like to comment on this research?
