To whom it may concern,
I am a PhD candidate from Zhejiang University, China, and will get the
doctoral degree this June. During my PhD studies, I mainly focus on human
and nature coupled biogeochemistry (including nitrogen and carbon cycling on
a large scale), and urban ecology (mainly testing the role of human in urban
ecosystem).
Our new paper about coupled human and nature nitrogen cycling in urbanized
region published in Environ. Res. Lett. (Gu et al., 2011) has been download
over 500 times in 41 days after online, which lists top 3% of all paper
published in IOP journals.
I also interest in the connection between nitrogen cycling and human health,
and further how this connection changes global climate and environment on
the basis on socioeconomic development.
