Congratulations to Jiong Wang for successfully defending her Master’s Thesis!
Our lab member Jiong Wang has successfully completed and defended her master’s thesis on November 19, 2021 entitled: “The impact of copper oxide nanoparticles on bacterial community assembly”.
Congratulations and we wish you all the best as you embark on a new chapter in your life!
Check out our lab’s newest publications!
Xian Yang recently published her work on the effects of forest fragment size on leaf litter decomposition and the mechanisms underlying the litter decomposition-island area relationship in CATENA and her collaborative work with our visiting scholar Dr. Weixing Liu entitled “Long-term nitrogen input alters plant and soil bacterial, but not fungal beta diversity in a semiarid grassland” in Global Change Biology.
Find her work at:
Yang, X., Y. Wang, Q. Xu, W. Liu, L. Liu, Y. Wu, L. Jiang, and J. Lu. 2021. Soil fertility underlies the positive relationship between island area and litter decomposition in a fragmented subtropical forest landscape. CATENA 204:105414. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.catena.2021.105414
Liu, W., Liu, L., Yang, X., Deng, M., Wang, Z., Wang, P., Yang, S., Li, P., Peng, Z., Yang, L. and Jiang, L. 2021.

Congratulations everyone!
Congratulations, Xian Yang on successfully defending your dissertation!
On October 31, 2019, our lab member Xian Yang defended her dissertation and earned her doctoral degree.
Congrats Dr. Yang!
Jiang Lab at the GT Earth Day Festival
Every year Georgia Tech hosts the Earth Day Festival on campus to celebrate our planet Earth. Our lab members were excited to participate again this year to share our knowledge on the biodiversity and the ecological importance of freshwater protozoans with the general public. Crowds were attracted by our interactive booth with microscopes, agar plates on which bacteria isolated from Piedmont Park ponds are growing, and microcosms containing various protist species. Thank you to everybody who came by and helped today!
