Research interests

1. Belowground-aboveground ecosystem interactions. Investigating interactions among key soil biota (earthworms, nematodes, mycorrhizal fungi) using stable isotope labeling (13C/15N), biomarker analysis (PLFAs, amino sugars), and molecular techniques. Focus on decomposer-symbiont interactions and their cascading effects on ecosystem processes.

2. Earthworm ecology. Functional roles of earthworms as “ecosystem engineers”, including biodiversity conservation, population dynamics, and invasion mechanisms of exotic species.

3. Biocontrol of soil greenhouse gaseous emission. Mechanisms of bioengineers in controlling soil greenhouse gaseous emission.
