研究方向 Research interests

探究气候变化、生物多样性流失以及用地类型改变对陆地生态系统碳循环关键过程(库和通量)的影响及相关机理,尤其关注生态系统地下过程(包括但不限于根系动态,根系微生物互作,土壤碳稳定性等)。研究手段包括控制实验、观测数据整合以及模型模拟;研究对象涵盖了森林、草地和农田生态系统。

I am interested in a better understanding of the consequences of climate change, biodiversity loss, and land use/management change on carbon cycling (both pool and flux) with a focus on the belowground processes (e.g., root dynamics, root and microbe interaction, soil carbon stabilization). My research involves a variety of tools and approaches (control experiments, observations, modeling), and a diverse set of ecosystems (forest, grassland, and agriculture).
