Haldane Prize 2025 | Jiawei Zhang: Spatial distribution and driving factors of microbial necromass carbon in coastal wetlands of China

2025 HALDANE PRIZE SHORTLIST: Jiawei Zhang discusses the paper “Spatial distribution and driving factors of microbial necromass carbon in coastal wetlands of China“, which has been shortlisted for Functional Ecology’s 2025 Haldane Prize for Early Career Researchers. About the Paper Our paper explores how microbial necromass carbon (MNC)—carbon derived from dead microorganisms—is distributed across China’s coastal wetlands and what drives its accumulation. Coastal wetlands are key … Continue reading Haldane Prize 2025 | Jiawei Zhang: Spatial distribution and driving factors of microbial necromass carbon in coastal wetlands of China

Behind the paper

Explore the root advantages of invasive plants under nutrient enrichment

In this new post, Hao Liu—a postdoc from Fudan University, China—presents his work ‘Root plasticity benefits a global invasive species in eutrophic coastal wetlands’. Here he discusses the importance in plasticity for invasive species success, highlights the cohesion required to work in the mud, and shares his journey in ecology. About the paperInvasive species usually benefit more than native species from increases in nutrient availability. … Continue reading Explore the root advantages of invasive plants under nutrient enrichment
