About
Yuechen Tan is an emerging environmental scientist whose research focuses on the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and carbon in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly peatlands and agricultural soils. Her work addresses critical questions about how land management practices—such as artificial drainage and straw incorporation—influence greenhouse gas emissions and soil microbial processes. In her highly cited 2022 study on alpine peatlands of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Tan demonstrated that long-term artificial drainage significantly alters the stoichiometry of denitrification products, shifting the balance toward greater N₂O production. This finding has important implications for understanding how peatland degradation amplifies climate forcing. Her 2023 paper further advanced the field by showing that decomposed straw can mitigate soil N₂O emissions by modifying dissolved organic matter composition and denitrifying bacterial communities. With over 24 citations across her most-cited works, Tan’s research is gaining recognition for its integration of field observations, molecular techniques, and ecosystem-scale implications. Her work is particularly valuable for researchers and students interested in the intersection of land-use change, microbial ecology, and climate change mitigation strategies.
