Resume

I am working as an associate professor in the Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. I was graduated from Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2010. I focused on the effects of global changes including warming, ozone concentration elevation and land use changes on the soil mesofauna food web (Collembola and mites) and related ecosystem processes, such as carbon and nitrogen cycling. Collaborative work had been done with Professor Stefan Scheu in 2013 and 2015. Fatty acids, stable isotopes and DNA sequence analysis of predator gut content were used to study the trophic links between Collembola and potential food resources including plant litter material, saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungi.
