陈骥，中国科学院地球环境研究所二级研究员。致力于研究陆地生态系统碳、氮循环过程、温室气体排放及其微生物与胞外酶机制。聚焦于全球变化下生态系统碳、氮、磷循环过程及机制。通过十余年的研究获得如下主要学术成果：1）阐明了氮沉降对水解性碳分解酶活性的促进会激发土壤呼吸，对氧化性碳分解酶活性的抑制会增加土壤碳储量。2）发现了长期增温会促进土壤胞外酶从水解性向氧化性的转变，有可能导致土壤碳损失。3）提出了自养和异养呼吸的非对称性响应过程，揭示了微生物和植物功能型特征在调控呼吸组分中的关键作用。以上成果有助于加深对对气候变化和人类活动背景下生态系统碳循环过程及机制的理解，有助于维持和增强陆地生态系统碳汇功能，服务于气候智能型和环境可持续性生态系统建设和国家“双碳”重大战略。
