Prof. Faming Wang is a biogeochemist. His research focused on examining how climate change and human perturbations of the coastal ecosystems affected biogeochemistry cycling. His approach to research is multi-disciplinary, spanning the fields of plant physiology, ecology, microbiology, policy, and molecular biology. Prof. Wang graduated from South China Botanical Garden (SCBG), The Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2010, and earned Ph. D in soil ecology. Then, he worked as a faculty in South China Botanical Garden to now. From 2015 to 2019, he visited the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)， The University of Chicago, and worked as a post-doc researcher in MBL. Currently, Prof. Wang is the head of Coastal Ecosystems Biogeochemistry Lab and holds the position of professor in SCBG. He is actively involved in academic service, and serves as associate editor of Functional Ecology, Ecology and Evolution, and editorial board of Journal of Plant Ecology, Plant and Soil, and Chinese Journal of Applied Ecology. He has published >50 peer-reviewed papers, including 27 papers as leading (or corresponding) author published in the high ranked international journals, e.g. National Science Review, Nature Communications, Functional Ecology et al. He has received over one million US$ research funding, including four National Science Funding of China grants. In 2020, Prof. Wang was listed in the China National Forestry and Grassland Administration Youth Talent Support Program. In 2021, He was listed in the China National Youth Talent Support Program.
