Chenxin Feng

Chenxin Feng is a soil ecologist affiliated with the Department of Ecology, Environment and Geoscience at Umeå University, Sweden. Their research focuses on soil carbon and nitrogen processes in subarctic ecosystems, particularly the interplay between seasonal variations and biogeochemical dynamics.

Research Interests: Chenxin investigates how pronounced seasonal changes in high-latitude ecosystems influence the soil carbon priming effect and gross nitrogen mineralization, with implications for nitrogen competition between plants and soils. Their work integrates field studies, garden manipulations, and laboratory experiments using isotopic labeling techniques (e.g., ¹³C and ¹⁵N) to track nutrient fluxes.
