◇ 本人从事的主要研究方向的特点、意义及其水平：
My broad-scale research interests arein the area of forest or plant ecology, particularly related to multipleabiotic and biotic controls on ecosystem functions and processes. I aminterested in to evaluate the underlying ecological mechanisms for explainingbiodiversity – ecosystem functioning relationship in a changing environment.Plant functional traits, demography, and trees' size variation across space andtime, as well as across forest biomes, are the main characteristics of myresearch. Using the multivariate statistical modeling (such as structuralequation modeling) approach, I evaluate the multivariate relationships amongstenvironmental factors, multiple metrics of biodiversity and species/functionalcomposition, and ecosystem functioning particularly aboveground biomass, carbonstorage, and productivity in natural (subtropical, tropical, and temperate)forests, agroforestry systems, rangelands, and alpine plant communities. Mostof my previous studies have focused on the biodiversity – ecosystem functioningrelationship at both local and regional scales. Currently, I evaluate themacro-ecological mechanisms underpinning biodiversity – ecosystem functioningat global and/ or pantropical scales. I am also leading the Global ForestDiversity, Structure and Function (i.e. GlobalFDSF) research network.
我的研究领域为森林和植物生态学，特别是森林生态系统功能和过程的多种非生物和生物的控制机理。我的研究兴趣主要是森林生物多样性与生态系统功能之间的关系在环境变化背景下的潜在生态机制。过去几年中，我在植物功能性状、森林统计学特征、树木大小随时间和空间的变化、以及森林生物群落变化的潜在影响机制上做了大量工作。其中，代表性科研成果有，利用多元统计建模(如结构方程建模)的方法评估了不同地带上(亚热带、热带和温带)自然森林、农林复合系统、牧场和高山植物群落中环境因子、生物多样性和物种/功能组成之间的多元关系，以及阐述了地上生物量、碳储量、生产力和生态系统功能之间的关系。目前，除延续之前工作重点区域尺度上生物多样性和生态系统功能之间关系外，我正在全球和/或泛热带区域尺度评估支撑生物多样性和生态系统功能的宏观生态机制，其研究水平已处在全球森林多样性、结构和功能研究的前沿，是Global FDSF的发起者和领导人。
