Osbert Jianxin Sun spends much of his time researching Soil water, Soil carbon, Temperate climate, Hydric soil and Phragmites.
His work in the fields of Soil water, such as Soil test, overlaps with other areas such as Atmospheric sciences.
Osbert Jianxin Sun has researched Soil carbon in several fields, including Soil organic matter, Litter and Topsoil.
His study in Temperate climate is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecosystem, Ecosystem services, Forest inventory and Forestry, Tree planting.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Herbaceous plant and Species diversity.
Much of his study explores Phragmites relationship to Floodplain.
