Since the enactment of the Clean Water Act (1972), which was supplemented by increased accountability under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D (1991) and the Clean Air Act Amendments (1996), landfills have indeed been widely used all around the world for treating various wastes. The landfill's biological and biogeochemical processes are believed to be originated about 2 to 4 decades ago. Scopus and web of Science based bibliometric study reveals that there are few papers available in scientific domain. Further, till today not a single paper demonstrated the detailed landfills heterogenicity, chemistry and microbiological processes and their associated dynamics in a combined approach. Accordingly, the paper addresses the recent applications of cutting-edge biogeochemical and biological methods adopted by different countries to sketch an emerging perspective of landfill biological and biogeochemical reactions and dynamics. Additionally, the significance of several regulatory factors controlling the landfill's biogeochemical and biological processes is highlighted. Finally, this article emphasizes the future opportunities for integrating advanced techniques to explain landfill chemistry explicitly. In conclusion, this paper will provide a comprehensive vision of the diverse dimensions of landfill biological and biogeochemical reactions and dynamics to the scientific world and policymakers.
自《清洁水法》（1972年）颁布以来，《资源保护与回收法》（RCRA）副标题D（1991年）和《清洁空气法修正案》（1996年）增加了问责制，垃圾填埋场确实在世界各地被广泛用于处理各种废物。垃圾填埋场的生物和生物地球化学过程被认为起源于大约20到40年前。基于Scopus和科学网的文献计量研究表明，科学领域的相关论文很少。此外，直到今天，还没有一篇论文以综合方法展示垃圾填埋场的详细异质性、化学和微生物过程及其相关动态。因此，本文探讨了不同国家采用的前沿生物地球化学和生物学方法的最新应用，以勾勒出垃圾填埋场生物和生物地球化学反应及动态的新视角。此外，还强调了控制垃圾填埋场生物地球化学和生物过程的几个监管因素的重要性。最后，本文强调了整合先进技术以明确解释垃圾填埋场化学的未来机会。总之，本文将为科学界和政策制定者提供关于垃圾填埋场生物和生物地球化学反应及动态不同维度的全面视角。
