Prof. Dr. Zuoqiang Yuan | Ecology and Conservation | Research Exellence Award

Northwestern Polytechnical University | China

Prof. Dr. Zuoqiang Yuan is a distinguished ecologist whose research focuses on forest ecosystem dynamics, biodiversity maintenance, and the multifunctionality of temperate and tropical forest systems. As a Professor at the School of Ecology and Environment, Northwestern Polytechnical University, he integrates long-term field monitoring, soil science, microbiology, and plant physiology to unravel the mechanisms governing forest responses to environmental change. His scientific work emphasizes enhanced rock weathering, soil organic carbon accumulation, plant–soil interactions, microbial community structures, and the stability of forest ecosystems under natural and anthropogenic disturbances. With an impressive scholarly record reflected by 4,218 citations generated from 3,624 documents, 106 published documents, and an h-index of 31, Prof. Yuan has established himself as a leading authority in ecosystem research and biogeochemical processes. His publications span high-impact international journals, covering topics such as nutrient cycling, ectomycorrhizal dynamics, photosynthetic regulation, carbon sequestration pathways, and biodiversity–function relationships in forested landscapes. He has significantly contributed to advancing ecological theory and its practical applications in ecosystem restoration, conservation planning, and sustainable forestry management. His leadership extends to editorial roles in well-recognized scientific journals, guest editorship in thematic issues on plant–soil interactions and biodiversity, and involvement in national and international research collaborations. In addition, he has served as a nomination expert for global science and technology awards and received recognition for his contributions to ecological innovation and young scientist development. Through extensive projects supported by major research foundations, he continues to pioneer integrative approaches that link above- and below-ground ecological processes, aiming to improve ecosystem functioning and predictive models in the context of climate change and environmental stressors. Prof. Yuan’s rigorous and impactful work positions him at the forefront of contemporary forest ecology and ecosystem sustainability research.
