Li Zhao's research investigates how increased dissolved organic matter (DOM) from climate-driven runoff affects microbial community composition and functional gene expression in marine ecosystems. This work emphasizes the interplay between allochthonous and autochthonous DOM sources and their role in shaping microbial metabolism and community dynamics.
Recent publications highlight advancements in metabarcoding methods, comparative microbial diversity studies, and insights into microbial genome responses in coastal environments. Key research themes include marine microbial ecology, environmental adaptation, and the application of genomic tools to climate change impact assessments.
Li Zhao is currently on leave but maintains active affiliation with Umeå University. Their work contributes to broader efforts in environmental microbiology and marine ecosystem modeling.
