Biography

My research focuses on forest management and the impacts of management practices on tree growth and stand development. I assess physiological adaptations of trees and forest micro-environmental conditions in natural forests, in forest restoration and plantation forest settings as well as in urban forestry. At present, I am investigating the changes in forest environment and how much changes may affect forest growth and structure. One of the main objectives of my research is to find new and efficient ways of producing multifunctional and ecologically sustainable forests by introducing the tree species or medical plants into the monoculture plantations. It is interesting to explore the relationship between afforestation, forest ecology and climate change. My teaching concentrates on silviculture and agroforestry, with a particular emphasis on plantation forestry and reforestation of forest stands in the subtropical and tropical areas of South China.
