I am a professor majoring in atmospheric modeling with a special focus on the interactions among atmospheric environment, land ecosystems, and climate systems. I developed the climate-vegetation-chemistry coupled models by implementing the Yale Interactive terrestrial Biosphere (YIBs) model into chemical and/or climate models. Based on the model development, I quantified the negative impacts of surface ozone on terrestrial carbon cycle, revealed the positive and negative effects of haze pollution on ecosystem productivities through perturbations in radiation and climate, assessed the ecological impacts of air pollutants on ecosystem functions in China under different emission scenarios. I have published more than 130 papers on professional journals including Nature and Science. I am currently the PI of research fundings from the National Key Research and Development Program of China and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
Description of Research Group: MAPLE group focuses on the interactions among air pollution, land ecosystems, and climate systems. We developed a dynamic global vegetation model YIBs, and coupled it with the global chemistry/climate models (including GC-YIBs and ModelE2-YIBs). Using these models, we explored the impacts of air pollution on ecosystem functions and the feedback of biosphere to atmospheric components under the climate change. Currently, we have 1 professor, 5 Ph.D students, 5 Master students, and several undergraduate students. We always welcome postdocs, graduate/undergraduate students with good potentials for researches.
