OverviewAI-generated summary

Ling Zhang's research group investigates environmental and biological systems, with recent work focusing on the fate of dissolved heavy metals in estuaries and the phytoremediation of antibiotics from aqueous solutions. Their studies have also explored the ecological impacts of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on Moso bamboo-soil systems and the influence of greenness on allergic rhinitis in preschool children. In the realm of molecular biology, Zhang's group has examined the ectopic expression of specific genes in *Arabidopsis thaliana* to understand their effects on plant phenotypes.

Beyond environmental and plant science, Zhang's research has touched upon behavioral and psychological studies, including an investigation into the self-esteem, social support, and coping strategies of left-behind children in rural China. The group has also applied computational methods to complex problems, such as developing a two-sided matching model for assigning volunteer teams to relief tasks and exploring evolutionary multimodal multiobjective optimization guided by growing neural gas. Zhang's scholarly contributions are reflected in an h-index of 22, with over 133 publications and 1,711 citations, designating them as a highly cited researcher.
