About
Dr. MA Xiao-fang is a leading environmental scientist whose research focuses on the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen in soil, particularly the impacts of emerging contaminants like microplastics and tire wear particles. Her work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how anthropogenic pollutants alter soil denitrification processes and greenhouse gas emissions. A key contribution is her 2024 study on tire wear particles, which demonstrated that these contaminants enhance denitrification by enriching labile dissolved organic matter and reshaping the soil microbial community (28 citations). She has also shown that microplastics from polyvinyl chloride agricultural films can increase denitrification potential without changing nitrogenous gas emissions (17 citations), and that biochar can mitigate the stimulatory effects of straw incorporation on N₂O emissions (15 citations). Dr. MA’s research is critical for developing strategies to manage soil health and mitigate climate change, making her a rising authority in environmental soil science and pollution ecology.
