Announcements

The 2021 Science and Technology Annual Meeting of the Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences was held in Tianjin from 19 to 21 October, 2021. A total of 26 sessions were set up for this conference, mainly focusing on the in-depth creation of the blue sky, clear water, pure land defense, ecological environmental protection and restoration, basic environmental management and scientific research, and actively built an "industry-university-research" exchange platform.

Atmosphere (ISSN: 2073-4433) sponsored this conference, of which the topic was "Atmospheric Deposition and Ecological Environment Effects", hosted by Prof. Dr. Xuejun Liu, Dr. Yuepeng Pan, and Dr. Lin Zhang. In order to thank scholars for their support and contribution of high-quality reports, and to commend their outstanding scientific research achievements, the Atmosphere Editorial Office has set up the Best Oral Presentation Award for this session and selected four outstanding reports. The reports are from the following scholars:

• Dr. Baojing Gu, Zhejiang University;
• Dr. Yu Zhao, Nanjing University;
• Dr. Yu Song, Peking University;
• Enzai Du, Beijing Normal University.

Winners

Prof. Dr. Baojing Gu

Prof. Dr. Baojing Gu is a researcher of the "Hundred Talents Program" of Zhejiang University, and the winner of the Zhejiang Outstanding Youth Fund and National Outstanding Youth Fund. He is mainly engaged in cross-research in the field of resource and environmental management, and has achieved relevant research results in the construction of large-scale nitrogen cycle models, resource and environmental effect assessment, cost-benefit analysis, and management regulation. He has published more than 90 papers, of which more than 70 are included in SCI/SSCI, including papers published in renowned journals, as the first/corresponding author. He has presided over a number of scientific research projects, such as the National Natural Science Foundation, the Provincial Outstanding Youth Fund, the National Key Research and Development Program, the United Nations Environment Program Fund, and the British Newton Fund. He has served as a fund review expert in China, Sweden, Australia, and other countries; he is a member of the International Nitrogen Promotion Association (INI) Asian Working Committee; he is a research team leader of the International Nitrogen Management System (INMS); and he is a member of the Nitrogen Working Group of the Chinese Soil Society.

Prof. Dr. Yu Zhao

Prof. Dr. Yu Zhao is a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Nanjing University. He is the National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Winner, selected by the Ministry of Organizations Ten Thousand Talents Program-Young Top Talent Support Program, New Century Excellent Talent Support Program of the Ministry of Education, Jiangsu Innovation and Entrepreneurship High-Level Talent Introduction Program, National Natural Science Foundation of China Excellent Youth Science Fund, and Jiangsu Provincial Natural Science Foundation of China Outstanding Youth Science Foundation, and the winner of the 4th Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences Young Scientist Gold Award. His main research direction is environmental atmospheric science, focusing on research on the sources of atmospheric pollutants and their typical environmental effects.

Prof. Dr. Yu Song

As a professor at the School of Environment, Peking University, Prof. Dr. Yu Song has been engaged in atmospheric environment simulation research. His research interests include numerical calculations of atmospheric boundary layer processes and atmospheric chemistry mechanisms, coupled simulations of atmospheric pollution and ecosystems, and agricultural source emissions of atmospheric pollution. He has published nearly 150 academic papers, including PNAS, which have been cited 6600 times, with a H-Index index of 40.

Dr. Enzai Du

Dr. Enzai Du is an associate professor at the School of Natural Resources, Faculty of Geographical Sciences, Beijing Normal University, and a Young Changjiang Scholar of the Ministry of Education. His research directions are biogeochemistry and forest ecology, with particular attention to the changes in the geographic pattern of key element biogeochemical processes and their ecological environmental effects, and he is committed to revealing the key ecological processes of forest ecosystems against the background of global changes, especially the large-scale law of element cycles, to provide theoretical and strategic support for the protection of ecological resources at regional, national, and global scales; the realization of the "carbon neutral" goal; and the construction of green infrastructure. His research group has been committed to the following research directions for many years: the temporal and spatial laws of atmospheric deposition of key elements and their ecological effects; the temporal and spatial dynamics of terrestrial vegetation productivity nitrogen and phosphorus limitations and their driving mechanisms; the impact of global changes on the northern coniferous forest ecosystem and its mechanisms; urban forest biogeochemical cycle pattern and mechanism; plant diversity geographic pattern and protection design.
