My research focuses on understanding the impacts of soil microbial community on carbon cycle under global change, including climate warming, elevated CO₂, nitrogen deposition, wildfires, plant invasion, and land use change, using a data-model integration approach. The major approaches I used in my research include: 

1. Compiling comprehensive datasets for understanding the biogeography of soil microbial community.
2. Generating novel microbial datasets using machine learning and deep learning approaches.
3. Improving ecosystem and Earth system models by incorporating explicit soil microbial mechanisms.
4. Applying the improved ecosystem and Earth system models with explicit soil microbial mechanisms to project carbon cycle under global change and understand the underlying mechanisms.
5. Empowering microbial models with -omics data by informing microbe-mediated biogeochemical processes with high-resolution genome information.
