Dr. Peng Tian currently holds the position of Visiting Postdoc at the Geo-Biosphere Interactions (GBI) group of the University of Tuebingen since 2023. He previously served as a Postdoc at the University of Kiel, Germany from 2020, and was an Associate Professor at Anhui Agricultural University, China from 2016 to 2020. His research focuses on soil carbon dynamics under global change, including mechanisms of soil carbon stabilization, nitrogen deposition impacts, and subsoil priming effects.
Education: PhD student (2016-2020) at the Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Research interests emphasize soil-carbon-climate interactions, with a focus on how environmental drivers like nitrogen deposition and warming influence soil organic matter decomposition and stabilization. His work bridges field observations and laboratory experiments to understand microbial and enzymatic processes in soil systems.
He leads the DFG-funded project 'Systems ecology of soils – energy discharge modulated by microbiome and boundary conditions' within the SPATEN-EcoEnergeticS-Cooperation (SPP 2322: SoilSystems), exploring how microbial communities and environmental factors regulate soil energy flows.
Key contributions include studies on contrasting priming effects across forest types and depths, nitrogen's role in soil respiration responses, and rhizosphere microbial dynamics. His work is published in journals like Catena, Science of the Total Environment, and Communications Earth & Environment.
