Abstract:
Terrestrial ecosystem is ‘breathing’ all the times, thus leading to the gas exchange between the atmosphere and biosphere. Besides the most well-known fluxes of CO2, O2 and water, many chemical components with relatively lower abundance, such as nitrogen-related gases, ozone and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are often overlooked but significantly affect air quality, climate and terrestrial ecosystem functioning. By bridging the knowledges in atmospheric chemistry and terrestrial biosphere, here I will summarize my past and ongoing work focusing on the interactions between the atmospheric chemistry and terrestrial biogeochemistry, and focus on 1) how anthropogenic reactive nitrogen affects the climate; 2) how ozone-vegetation interactions affect air quality and terrestrial carbon storage.
Personal introduction:
Dr. Cheng Gong received his Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is now working as the postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, where he deeply participated in the model development of ICON-Land-QUINCY, the land component of the German next-generation Earth system model. Dr. Gong is interested in the interactions between the atmospheric chemistry and terrestrial biogeochemistry, specifically focusing on the atmosphere-land exchanges of reactive components and the associated impacts on air quality, the climate and terrestrial carbon cycles. He has published 8 peer-reviewed papers as the first author in leading journals, including Nature, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, Geophysical Research Letters and so on. His work was selected as one of the Max Planck Society’s 12 Research Highlights in 2024, and cited by the policy report of United Nations Environment Programme.
