Presentation

Haichao Li is a postdoctoral researcher in the research group of Biogeochemistry of Forest Soils, Department of Soil and Environment. Currently, he is working on a project about stability of biochar in soils. His interests also revolve around the interactions between soil texture, soil water content and soil organic carbon dynamics, animal waste management, X-ray CT techniques, and isotopes in biogeochemistry. Before joining SLU, he obtained his PhD degree in Environmental Sciences and Technology at Ghent University, Belgium.  Currently, he is serving as a leading guest editor in Plants (impact factor: 4.658), with the special issue “Advances in Soil Fertility Management for Sustainable Agriculture.”
