　　Brief Biography:

　　Dr. Xiaoyuan Yan is a professor of the Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where he received his PhD in Agricultural science in 1998. During 1999-2006, he was a research scientist in Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences and Frontier Research Center for Global Change. He has had roles as the science steering committee member of the International Nitrogen Initiative (INI), Member of editorial board of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition; Member of the Technical Committee on Soil Systems and Critical Zone Processes of American Geophysical Union; and as contributing author of 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. His research focuses are nitrogen biogeochemistry, greenhouse gas emission from agriculture, and non-point source pollution control. He has published over 80 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, with more than 3000 citations, and was a winner of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, winner of the National Natural Science Award, and winner of Japan International Award for Young agricultural researcher.
