Zhou Jun is an Associate Researcher and Master's Supervisor at the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS. He is primarily engaged in research on mountain phosphorus cycling and its ecological functions. Since 2010, he has been studying the interrelationships between key processes of phosphorus cycling and vegetation primary succession based on soil chronosequences in glacier retreat areas. He received his bachelor's degree from the Department of Geography, Lanzhou University (2006), and his master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. From 2018 to 2019, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Western Australia.
