I too don't think it can happen in a composting situation, I wonder if the
case which Frank cites is more a pickling, where the volatile solids are
respirated in low oxygen micro spaces and the pH drops to inhibit further
attack by bugs, silage and peat come to mind.
It is possible to carbonise something at low temperatures, pour
concentrated sulphuric acid onto paper as an an example.
