Main research interests and research directions

1. Vegetation phenology: using natural and controlled experiments to study the response and feedback of vegetation phenology to climate change;

2. Remote sensing ecology and ecosystem ecology: ecosystem structure and function study using near-surface and satellite remote sensing;

3. Big data statistical analysis: mainly involved in data analysis and modeling;

4. Vegetation hydrologic process: focusing on the impact of vegetation dynamics on terrestrial ecosystem hydrologic processes;
