Introduction

Dr. Yang Song is Associate Professor in Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. He obtained the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2012. Dr. Song has led eight research projects, including one subject of the National Key Research and Development Program of China, three National Natural Science Foundation of China. He has published more than 60 papers of SCI. Dr. Song’s dynamic research on three aspects, including (1) plant root-microbe-contaminants interactions in soil (2) environmental behavior and bioavailability of contaminants of emerging concern, and (3) pollution control and soil remediation strategy. He has received the Chinese Academy of Sciences President’s Award. He has also been awarded the Young Science and Technology Talent Promotion Project by Jiangsu Association for Science and Technology.
