I am primarily engaged in research on the underlying mechanisms of plant roots and mycorrhiza mediating soil biogeochemical cycles and soil carbon processes under global change. Over the past five years, I have focused on studying the root-mediated rhizosphere ecological processes and the fundamental scientific questions regarding the maintenance mechanisms of forest community and functional stability, as well as the formation and stability mechanisms of soil organic carbon, from the unique perspective of the rhizosphere. Currently, I have published 24 papers as the first author or corresponding author in high-impact journals in the fields of ecology, soil science, plant science, and forestry, including Communications Earth & Environment, New Phytologist, Global Change Biology, Soil Biology & Biochemistry, Plant Journal, Journal of Applied Ecology, Journal of Ecology, Functional Ecology, Forest Ecosystems, and Plant and Soil. These publications have been cited over 1200 times in total.
