Work experience
My major research interests are plant ecology and restoration ecology in the arid zone of _x000D_
China. Nine years ago I conducted laboratory and field work relevant with desertification _x000D_
combating in western China, mainly involved in the project “experiments and demonstrations _x000D_
on the comprehensive rehabilitation of the desertified lands in Xikaze City of Tibet Autonomous _x000D_
Region”. From 2002 on, I have been involved in the research of vegetation processes in the _x000D_
sand dune field in eastern China, and my major efforts have been poured into two aspects “how _x000D_
plants adapt to active dunes” and “how scale and spatial pattern affect vegetation processes in the _x000D_
dune field”. Recently, my major research projects are “study on the relationship between vegetation _x000D_
restoration and scale and spatial pattern in the semi-arid sandy region” and “a comparison of soil _x000D_
seed bank pattern between the active and the stabilized sand dune in the Horqin Steppe”.
