Resume
Huanhuan Wei, Male, born in April 1990, native of Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. Associate Professor and Master’s supervisor at the Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang. Research focuses on nitrogen cycling and greenhouse gases. Through years of research, has revealed the complexity of N2O production under in situ field conditions and demonstrated that O2 kinetics is a key factor in the production of N2O in in situ soils, providing a theoretical basis for understanding the mechanisms of N2O production and emission reduction in dryland agricultural soils. To date, has published more than 10 SCI papers in leading journals in this field, including Global Change Biology and Soil Biology and Biochemistry.
