Work experience
I have performed, as principal investigator, a number of subjects about ecological restoration of desertfied ecosystems in drylands of North China, especially in Inner Mongolia, since 1996 when I started my job, as a professor in Ecology, in Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Meanwhile,I was also functioned as a advisor and participant in a nation-level project on ecological restoration of Karst ecosystem ins Guizhou province, Southwest (subtropical region) China.
