Dr Fu was a postdoctoral researcher in University of Califoria, Davis.  Dr Fu obtained his PhD in Ecology from Institute of Ecology, University of Georgia in 1999.  His research interests include: The impacts of human and natural disturbance on soil biodiversity (microbes, nematodes and mites), Rhizosphere processes and soil biodiversity, SOM decomposition and C cycling, the impacts of herbivory (above- or below-ground) on rhizosphere processes,Soil biodiversity and ecosystem function.

Dr Fu recently came back to China recently to carry on a "100 talents Plan" project as the director of a field station (Heshan Hilly Land Interdisciplinary Experimental Station) and the group leader of Restoration Ecology of Ecological Research Center at the South China Botanical Garden, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is supervising two laboratories (a microbiology Lab and a invertebrate animal lab).
