Yang Linzhang, professor, Ph.D. supervisor. In the past five years, he has undertaken 4 national-level projects and 4 provincial-level projects. He is mainly engaged in the circulation of nutrients in farmland ecosystems and the impact on the environment, the mechanism of rural non-point source pollution, load estimation and control technology. In the aspect of agricultural non-point source pollution control, he proposed the “Source reduction – process control – nutrient reuse – ecological restoration” (4R)  control technology system for rural non-point source pollution control for the first time, which has been promoted and applied nationwide; the “4R integration technology for nitrogen and phosphorus loss management in farmland in the southern water network area” has been listed as one of the top ten leading agricultural technologies of the Ministry of Agriculture in 2017. In the research of rice field ecosystem, he has carried out research on the effects of different fertilization programs on soil fertility and soil environment and the optimization management of rice paddy ecosystem; completed the first monograph on rice paddy ecosystem in China, which has attracted the attention of domestic and foreign counterparts. He has undertaken many national research projects, major academies, major projects of the Three Gorges Construction Committee and key foundation projects, etc. successively. He has published a total of nearly 200 papers, including over 50 SCI papers and more than 10 EI papers; obtained the authorization of more than 10 invention patents; published 6 monographs; won 1 first prize of national science and technology award and more than 10 provincial and ministerial awards. He is the incumber Secretary General of the Soil Society of China, Director of the Ecological Society of China, Chairman of the Soil Society of Jiangsu Province and Executive Director of China Society for Environmental Science, etc. He was the former Deputy Director of the Academic Committee of the Shanghai Low Carbon Agricultural Engineering Technology Research Center, Member of the Academic Committee of the Agricultural Technology Center of the Northeast Institute of Geography and Agricultural Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Member of and the Academic Committee of the Research Center of the Basin Pollution Control Research Center, Fudan University, etc. In February 1992, he was granted a government subsidy by the State Council. In 2003, he was awarded the title of “Young and Middle-aged Experts with Outstanding Contributions in Jiangsu Province”. In April 2004, he was selected as a national candidate for the “New Century Talents Project” as approved by the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Finance, National Development and Reform Commission, Committee of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and China Association for Science and Technology. In 2007, he was identified as a “333 high-level talent training project” for young and middle-aged science and technology leaders (second level) in Jiangsu Province. In 2010, he was awarded the title of “National Excellent Science and Technology Worker”. In April 2012, he joined Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences as “Excellent scientist”.
