Research
Nitrogen- (N) limited boreal peatlands are
considered to be important carbon (C) sinks which are being impacted by
increasing atmospheric N deposition due to anthropogenic activities.
Using C:N:phosphorus (P) stoichiometry, which focuses on the balance of
critical elements during ecological processes and interaction, my work
will provided an integrative framework linking the biogeochemical
patterns at a global scale to physiological constraints that operated
at cellular or organism levels. In addition, N2-fixation is an
important process of N input and plays a crucial role in N cycling and
hence the C:N:P stoichiometry in peatlands.
My work mainly focus on:
(1) Temporal and spatial C:N:P stoichiometric patterns
in leaves and pore-water among different plant functional types and
peatland habitats;
(2) Nutrient resorption and its response to ferilization in boreal bog.
(3) Nutrient mineralization and its response to fertilization in boreal bog.
