معرفی
Dr. Lingling Shi is a PostDoc researcher at the Department of Geosciences, University of Tuebingen (since 2022), affiliated with the GBI group (Geo-Biosphere Interactions). Previously, she held a Postdoc position at the University of Goettingen (2018-2021) and was an Assistant Professor at the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2014-2016). Her research focuses on plant-microbe-soil interactions under climate change, biodiversity-ecosystem function linkages, and soil restoration processes using isotopic and microbiome approaches.
She participated in the DFG-funded SoilSystems SPP 2322 project on microbial metabolism and collaborates with the WALD (Atmosphere, and Life Dynamics) initiative at Biosphere 2, Arizona. Her work integrates field observations, stable isotope tracing, and molecular techniques to understand soil microbial dynamics in agroecosystems and forest ecosystems.
Education & Positions:
- 2018-2021: Postdoc, Dept. of Biogeochemistry, University of Goettingen
- 2016-2018: Sino-German (CSC-DAAD) Postdoc Scholar, Dept. of Soil Ecology, University of Goettingen
- 2014-2016: Assistant Professor, Kunming Institute of Botany (CAS), China
- Soil Specialist, World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), China
Research Themes: Her studies explore:
- Climate change effects on plant-microbe-soil networks
- Root exudates and mycorrhizal networks in plant-plant communication
- Stable isotope-based tracking of carbon/nutrient cycles
- Meta-analyses of agroforestry carbon sequestration
Grants & Collaborations: Currently involved in DFG SoilSystems SPP 2322 (EcoEnergeticS) project and the WALD initiative. Previous projects include analyses of forest disturbance impacts and soil restoration dynamics.
