Xu Fang successfully defends doctoral thesis

Xu presented the results of his doctoral thesis, titled "Decreasing As and Cd in rice: From biogeochemical processes to improved paddy management," to an enthusiastic in-person and online audience. The presentation and the thesis received a very positive response from the committee and audience. We are very pleased that Xu will remain in the Soil Chemistry group following the defence, and we are looking forward to following the next chapters in his research career.
