Ding Guo is the associate professor of the Institute of Element Utilization & Management in Grassland Ecosystem, State Key Laboratory of Grassland Agro-ecosystems and College of Pastoral Agriculture Science and Technology, Lanzhou University. He obtained his PhD (2013) in Lanzhou University, China, and had worked in Lanzhou University. He had visited Prof. Yiqi Luo’s Lab at School of Life Sciences, University of Oklahoma in the USA as an exchange student supported by the China Scholarship Council. 

Currently Ding Guo main research interests concern C and N dynamic of grassland ecosystem and data assimilation. He has published 8 papers in international journals including Soil & Tillage Research, Soil Biology & Biochemistry and Geoderma etc.
