TAN QIQI (PHD.) Qiqi mainly focuses on the influence of global change on soil carbon dynamics and nutrient stoichiometry in soil and plants. As a postdoc, he will analyze the data from Nutrient Network and Drought Net to evaluate the influence of global change on soil carbon storage in grassland. In addition, the effects of aboveground net primary production, plant diversity, temperature, precipitation and soil characters on soil carbon storage will be studied to explore the underlying mechanisms.

XU CHONG (PH.D STUDENTS)
Chong is interested in how plant communities recover after extreme drought in grassland ecosystem. Through investigating the aboveground biomass, biodiversity and species composition in different grassland ecosystems, he can understand the difference of resilience to extreme drought among different grassland ecosystems. Through investigating the recovery of bud and seed bank, he can explore the underlying mechanisms that could cause the different resilience among different ecosystems. Email:xuch18@lzu.edu.cn |

TAOFEEK O. MURAINA (PH.D STUDENTS)
Taofeek is a PhD candidate from Nigeria where he received his Bachelor and Master of Agriculture in Pasture Production and Utilization from the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta. His PhD research is on how forecast extreme drought will affect the biodiversity and productivity of natural grassland ecosystems. His findings could enhance efficient prediction of grasslands’ response patterns to future climate change and suggest potential management techniques. He has broad interest in finding how natural grasslands will remain species-rich, highly productive and nutritive amidst ongoing and forecast extreme climate events for efficient livestock production and other ecological services.
