Dr. Jing-Zhong Lu
Researcher in the CARBONWEB project
jingzhong.lu@senckenberg.de
Research Interests
My research interests are soil food webs and microarthropods. I, also known as Logos, will work as a member of the Central Team in Senckenberg Görlitz to coordinate data collection and field sampling of the Soil BON Foodweb and to advance soil macroecology.
2024-current: Postdoctoral researcher on soil macroecology
2021-2024: Postdoctoral researcher on soil physical structure and trophic interactions
2017-2021: Doctoral researcher on decomposer communities and decomposition processes
