Research Interest:

My research focuses on the responses and feedbacks of biogeochemical cycles (such as CO2, CH4, and H2O) in vegetation ecosystems (e.g., forests, peatlands) to global environmental changes. I am working with land surface models (ELM, CLM) to explore the interactions among climate change, biogeochemical processes, and physical properties and to understand their control mechanisms. Integrated data analyses of flux towers, field inventory, lab measurements and remote sensing are also involved in my research.
