About
Li Yan serves as Research Associate and Adjunct Research Fellow at The University of Western Australia's School of Biological Sciences under Prof. Hans Lambers, focusing on plant adaptation to phosphorus limitation and environmental stressors in diverse ecosystems.
Education:
- PhD, Guangxi University, China (2019)
- Postdoctoral training, Lanzhou University and The University of Western Australia
Her research investigates plant-soil interactions through physiological analyses of root exudates, nutrient allocation, and ecological strategies in nutrient-impoverished environments. She examines invasion success mechanisms and biodiversity dynamics using integrated field and greenhouse methodologies across temperate forests and Australian ecosystems.
Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal consistent focus on phosphorus dynamics, with studies employing leaf spectroscopy and root exudate analysis across Myrtaceae and Proteaceae families. Her work demonstrates how plant species like Banksia adapt to low-phosphorus habitats through specialized nutrient acquisition strategies.
No scientific awards are documented in available sources.
Current information indicates no formal student mentorship or grant leadership.
She operates within Prof. Hans Lambers' research group specializing in plant nutrition in phosphorus-limited ecosystems, particularly studying south-western Australia's unique flora and nutrient cycling mechanisms.
