Honghua He

Honghua He is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Western Australia. Their research focuses on plant-microbe interactions in agricultural systems, antibiotic effects on soil microbiology, and sustainable agricultural practices. Key contributions include studies on rhizosphere microbiology, antibiotic resistance in soil ecosystems, and plant responses to environmental stressors like drought and elevated CO₂.

Research interests span environmental science, microbial ecology, and agricultural sustainability. Recent work examines the combined impacts of microplastics and antibiotics on crop rhizospheres, as well as CO₂ mitigation strategies for crop resilience. Collaborations include studies with Zhao, Zhang, Pang, and Lambers on topics ranging from intercropping systems to bacterial community dynamics under antibiotic exposure.
