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.
