Research Interests

My team investigates soil fertility evolution, soil functions supporting crop health and productivity including cycling of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. We also work on interactions between crop varieties and soil fertility, soil carbon sequestration in farm-land, and soil water management under rain-fed agriculture. The three 30-year long-term field experiments run by “National Monitoring Base of Soil Fertility & Fertilizer Efficiency on Loess Soil” provide unique resources for the related work.

Projects

1. Features of soil fertility of arable land in Northwestern region of China and the demonstration of integrated techniques on soil fertility improvement. Financially supported by the Special Fund for Agro-Scientific Research in the Public Interest of China (201203030). (2012-2016)

2. National Key Research and Development Program of China (2017YFD0200205) 2017-2020.

3. Monitoring soil fertility evolution and fertilizer efficiency on Loess soil and construction of the soil fertility database and information system. Special funds for the operation and maintenance of scientific research facilities (2020-)
