Biography

Cheng Gong works as the postdoctroal fellow at Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, Germany. His research interests include global biogeochemistry C-N cycles, atmosphere-biosphere interactions and atmospheric chemistry. He uses the atmospheric chemistry tranpsort model (GEOS-Chem), earth system model (ModelE2-YIBs) and terrestrial land model (QUINCY, ICON-L) to better understand the complex biogeochemical cycles globally and their impacts on climate.

Global nitrogen cycle and interactions with climate

Anthropogenic reactive nitrogen (Nr) has significantly perturbated the global N cycle since the industrial revolution. However, the complexity of Nr cascades impedes further understanding in the effects of anthropogenic Nr.

Nutrient limitation on global C cycles (ongoing)

Nutrient limitation is identified as one of the most important factors that influences plant growth and the global terrestrial carbon cycle. Most natural plants are limited by either nitrogen (e.g. in boreal regions) or phosphorus (e.

Ozone-vegetation interactions

Ground-level ozone and vegetation have complex interactions. On the on hand, vegetation acts as both of the sources (BVOCs emissions) and sinks (stomatal dry deposition) for ozone; On the other hand, ozone exposure would lead to detrimental effects on vegetation and suppress plant growth.

Ozone pollution episodes in North China

The summertime ozone (O3) in eastern China has kept increasing in recent years, accompanying with more frequent persistent O3 pollution episodes (OPEs) in North China. In this project, we analyzed observed O3 data over 2014-2018 to identify a typical weather pattern for OPEs in North China, and further quantified the contributions of regional O3 transports on OPEs.
