Phosphorus (P) is a major nutrient for plant growth. And P in soil is mainly derived from parent rock. Phosphorus links the biotic and the abiotic worlds and plays an important role in many ecosystem functions and processes. Dr. Hou has a broad interest in terrestrial P cycle and how it will response to global changes and mediate global change effects on key ecosystem functions and processes.
