Tailing pedogenesis and ecological reconstruction

01 Tailing pedogenesis and ecological reconstruction

We investigate mineral weathering, secondary mineral formation, organic carbon stabilization, and structural development during the transformation of mine tailings into soil-like substrates.

Soil structure and ecological function reconstruction

02 Soil structure and ecological function reconstruction

We examine how plant roots, rhizosphere microorganisms, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi regulate aggregate formation, organic matter accumulation, nutrient cycling, and plant stress resistance.

Organo-mineral interface processes and element cycling

03 Organo-mineral interface processes and element cycling

We characterize electron transfer, mineral dissolution and precipitation, metal transformation, and molecular fractionation of organic matter at mineral-water-organic matter-microbe interfaces.

Soil microecology and molecular transformation of organic matter

04 Soil microecology and molecular transformation of organic matter

We elucidate how biological systems, including plants, soil animals, and microorganisms, drive the formation, transformation, and stabilization of soil organic matter in tailings and degraded soils.

AI-driven multiscale modeling and intelligent prediction of tailing pedogenesis

05 AI-driven multiscale modeling and intelligent prediction of tailing pedogenesis

We integrate artificial intelligence, multiscale modeling, and tailing pedogenesis research to understand coupled mineral interface reactions, element transport, organic carbon stabilization, and ecological function recovery.
