Background:
Dr. He has focused on nitrogen use efficiency in C3 and C4 cereals, carbon and nitrogen movement in agricultural and natural ecosystems, roles of nitrogen fixing microbes and plant beneficial mycorrhizal fungi in plant ecophysiology/nutrition and soil health. Dr. He is currently exploring emerging technologies such as 454 Pyrosequencing, High Resolution Optical and/or Electron Microscopy, Nano-scale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (nanoSIMS), RNA/DNA Stable Isotope Probing (DNA/RNA-SIP) and Synchrotron Radiation Facility, etc., to address above-mentioned topics in a variety of plant-microbial-soil systems under global environmental change scenarios. 相关阅读
