Xiankun Li Researcher

I am a Ph.D. candidate researching the mechanisms of soil carbon emissions during drying and rewetting by synthesizing data. My work advances understanding of this process through soil microbial carbon use strategies, comparisons between laboratory and field conditions, interactions with soil temperature, and microbial acclimation to long-term climate. The ultimate goal of my research is to refine and apply current findings to improve predictions of soil carbon emissions under climate change.
