Professor Wang Qinggui and Associate Professor Yan Guoyong from Qufu Normal University deliver academic reports

On-site academic report

Professor Wang Qinggui and Associate Professor Yan Guoyong from Qufu Normal University were invited to deliver academic reports at TU on November 13. Li Junmin, Vice President and Member of the CPC TU Committee, attended and hosted the session. Zhao Kai, Dean of the School of Life Sciences, Zong Enmin, Deputy Dean of the School of Life Sciences, and faculty and student representatives were also present.

Li Junmin warmly welcomed Wang Qinggui and Yan Guoyong, emphasizing the close ties between Qufu Normal University and TU. She called for strengthened cooperation and exchange to promote collaborative innovation and enhance scientific research.

Professor Wang Qinggui gives a report

During the session, Professor Wang delivered a report titled “Responses of Key Processes in the Carbon Cycle of Northern Forest Ecosystems to Nitrogen Deposition.” The report focused on key processes in soil carbon cycling in northern Chinese forests. Using various research methods, such as stable carbon-oxygen isotopes, organic matter chemistry, molecular biology, and metagenomics, the study delved into critical aspects, including the below-ground distribution patterns of assimilated plant carbon, microbial carbon metabolism and turnover, and the coupling relationships between the chemical structure of organic matter and functional microbial communities. The research aimed to reveal the dynamic regulatory mechanisms of soil organic carbon (SOC) through plant-soil-microbe interactions, improve terrestrial ecosystem carbon-nitrogen coupling cycle models, and enhance the scientific evaluation of nitrogen-induced carbon sinks, thus providing foundational data support for achieving carbon neutrality.

Associate Professor Yan Guoyong presented a report titled “The Impact of Plant Diversity and Mycorrhizal Types on Forest Carbon Storage.” The report systematically examined how plant diversity and different mycorrhizal types influence forest carbon storage and their underlying mechanisms. It analyzed the role of plant diversity in promoting forest productivity, assessed the functions of various mycorrhizal types in carbon fixation and storage processes, and revealed the combined impact of these factors on forest ecosystem carbon storage. Afterward, in-depth discussions and exchanges on related academic issues took place between the parties.
