  • Research Areas:
    (1)Conservation tillage: We explore the application of no tillage with stover mulching to improve soil nutrient use efficiency and enhance soil fertility.
    (2)Soil physical structure: Exploring the effects of soil physical components including aggregates and particle-size fractions on soil organic carbon dynamics.
    (3)Soil infrared spectroscopy: Using infrared technique to interpret the structure of soil organic matter.
    Specific Work Expertise/Skills:
    (1)Soil no tillage techniques
    (2)Using infrared spectroscopy machine to test soil samples
    (3)Soil aggregate fractionation using wet sieving
