Research
N limited boreal peatlands are considered to be
important C sinks which are being impacted by increasing
atmospheric N deposition due to anthropogenic activities. Using
C:N:P:K 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.
My work mainly focuses on:
(1) the seasonal varition in C:N:P:K stoichiometry among
major plant functional types;
(2) nutrients resorption and the response to long-term
fertilization;
(3) stoichiometric homeostasis in vascular plants and
bryophytes;
(4) the cascade of C:N:P stoichiometry from living tissues to
peat.
