• My research will focus in urbanization, its response to global changes and its impacts on global biogeochemical cycles. I am especially interested in the responses of carbon/nitrogen/water dynamics and biodiversity to the combination effects of global climate change, regional atmospheric change, anthropogenic land-use/land cover change, and urban-induced environmental changes. My study will be mainly conducted with, but not limited to, dynamic ecosystem modeling approach.
