Welcome Yujing Deng!

Yujing Deng started her PhD as a China Scholarship holder in the Research Group Geoecology, Department of Geography and Regional Research in November 2021. She has a Bachelor's degree from the Harbin Normal University, China and completed the Master's program in Geography at Beijing Normal University, China. She will study the effects of nutrient addition and soil moisture changes on diverse peats from Austria. Welcome!

 

Research interest

My main research interest is the biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus in terrestrial ecosystems. I have a strong interest in how the freeze-thaw cycle affects soil CO2 emissions in the permafrost, in particular the impact of soil temperature and moisture changes in the active layer on soil CO2 emissions. I am also particularly interested in the effects of nutrient addition and climate change on diverse peats from Austria.

My current research is focused on (i) how nutrient addition, soil temperature and moisture changes affect recalcitrance of peats and (ii) how they interact along the trophic gradient of the peatlands, which may help us understand the mechanism of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in peatlands in response to climate change and atmospheric nitrogen deposition.
