    I am interested in nutrient cycling and distribution traits within soil aggregates in grasslands, and how these properties are controlled by plant and microbial processes under global changes scenarios. Specifically, I mainly focused on soil carbon sequestration, fate of atmospheric deposited N, transformation of soil phosphorus and sulfur, and availability of base cation and micronutrients.
