Research direction: Atmospheric Physics and Atmospheric Environment; Global Change Biology; Carbon and Nitrogen Cycle and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

 

Research interest: Process and mechanism of land use and land use changes on grassland, wetlands, farmland ecosystem productivity, carbon and nitrogen phosphorus cycle and carbon and nitrogen trace gases including greenhouse gases CO2, CH4, and N2O and environmental polluting gases such as NH3, NO; grazing / breeding system productivity collaboration to reduce ecological environmental load; land ecosystem carbon and nitrogen footprint; climate and nitrogen gas emissions of terrestrial ecosystem.

 

Research method: Point-scale carbon and nitrogen flux observations by using box-based gas chromatography or laser analysis instrument technology, combined with isotope tracing methods to fully understand the cycle of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in terrestrial ecosystems.Regional or global scale carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus material cycle and carbon and nitrogen exchange laws between the earth and the atmosphere are studied using synthetic-analysis or meta-analysis methods based on big data.
