    Research Group: Plant Functional Traits Research Group (PFT-Lab)

    Research Areas: 

    Conducting research around the urgent scientific demand of the national Dual Carbon goal, focusing on How to enhance the quantification and prediction of ecosystem carbon sink based on plant traits. The research primarily relies on field control experiments, ecosystem model simulations, interpretation of satellite remote sensing data, and analysis of eddy covariance flux data. The key exploration involves the spatiotemporal distribution changes of plant functional traits and their diversity, ecological factors, and their impact on the functioning of ecosystem carbon sinks.

    Research Directions:

    1. Global Change Ecology: Emphasizing the changes that global ecosystems face, especially the impacts of climate change and human activities on ecosystems.

    2. Functional Biogeography: Investigating the spatiotemporal distribution changes of plant functional traits and their diversity, studying the impact of ecological factors on the functioning of ecosystem carbon sinks.

    Research Methods:

    1. Field Control Experiments: Conducting on-site experiments in natural environments, observing changes in plant functional traits and their impact on carbon sinks by controlling various factors.

    2. Ecosystem Model Simulations: Using mathematical models to simulate changes in plant functional traits in ecosystems and their impact on carbon sinks.

    3. Satellite Remote Sensing Data Interpretation: Using satellite data to obtain extensive vegetation information, inferring the spatiotemporal distribution of plant functional traits.

    4. Eddy Covariance Flux Data Analysis: Utilizing meteorological eddy covariance flux measurements to analyze the exchange processes of carbon between plants and the atmosphere, revealing characteristics of ecosystem carbon sink functionality.
