Huadong Zang works as an associate professor at China Agricultural University (CAU) since 2019. Before joining CAU, he obtained his PhD at the University of Goettingen in 2018 and worked as a PostDoc at Bangor University. He has wide experience in agronomy and soil science, and extensive experience in ¹³C natural abundance techniques and multiple stable/radioactive isotope (¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸O) labeling approaches. His past research focused on N and C cycles in the plant-soil system, specifically on how N fertilization, temperature, and crop management influence C sequestration, organic matter stabilization, turnover, and priming effects in the agroecosystem. His current research interests are in investigating C and nutrient cycling, as well as plant-plant and plant-microbial-soil interactions in diversified cropping systems and agroecology. In his work he uses a combination of methods including on-station and on-farm experiments, isotopic labeling, zymography, and molecular techniques.
