关于该项目

　　在全球范围内，干旱和半干旱区土壤碳含量约695 Pg C ~ 940 Pg C，是全球碳收支的重要组成部分，具有调节气候变化的潜力。尽管对干旱区土壤有机碳的全球分布及其对气候和土地利用变化的响应的研究日益广泛，但尚未达成共识。在中国科学院的资助下，我们将组织一期关于“一带一路”沿线国家关于干旱区生态系统土壤碳循环前沿知识培训班。通过理论研究、室内试验和野外调查相结合的方式，让“一带一路”沿线国家的青年学者全面了解干旱生态系统土壤碳循环的基础知识，从而促进“一带一路”国家之间的科教合作。

The International Training Program on Soil Carbon Cycling in Arid Ecosystems along the Belt and Road Countries

 

About the program

Globally, arid and semi-arid soils contain from ～695 Pg C to 940 Pg C of carbon, representing an important component of the global C budget with potential for mediating climate change. Despite the extensively increasing studies on the global distribution of SOC in arid regions and its responses to climate and land use changes, no consensus has been reached. As sponsored by Chinese Academy of Sciences, we will organize a training course on the emerging ground-breaking and cutting-edge knowledge on soil carbon cycling in arid ecosystems along the Belt and Road countries. Through a combination of theoretical studies, laboratory experiments, and field investigations, we aim to provide young scholars from Belt and Road countries with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental knowledge on soil carbon cycling in arid ecosystems. Ultimately, this program is also designed to stimulate scientifical and educational cooperation among the Belt and Road countries.

Training course information

1. Fundamental knowledge and processes on soil carbon cycling in arid ecosystems

2. Distribution and storage of soil organic carbon in global and regional arid ecosystems

3. Controls on the presence and storage of soil inorganic carbon in arid ecosystems

4. Characteristics and patterns of soil organic carbon cycling in various arid ecosystems

5. Effects of global climate change on soil carbon cycling and the key factors

6. Effects of land conversion on soil carbon cycling and the key factors

7. Effects of ecological engineering on carbon cycling in the Loess Plateau

8. Training on laboratory incubation experiment on soil carbon decomposition

9. Training on fundamental knowledge on ecosystem CO2 exchange and measurements

10. Introduction and application of classical soil carbon cycle model

11. Application of accelerator mass spectrometry technology on soil carbon research

12.   Field trip to national observation and research station

Eligibility -Applicants should fulfil the following specific requirements:

1. Your age should be between 18 and 40 (inclusive) and in good health;

2. You should be major on ecology, environmental science, or climate change-related research for more than 2 years;

3. Demonstrate competence in ecology, environment and climate change study, with relevant proof required such as published articles or a thesis;

4. Postgraduates must provide letters of consent and recommendation from their supervisors;

5. Be proficient in listening, speaking, reading, writing in either Chinese or English;

6. Invitations are not extended to dependents or family members;
