I am broadly interested in mechanisms that shaping patterns of species diversity. In my PhD dissertation research, I focused on how local processes such as tree interactions, local topography variation and stochastic dilution effects that influenced the species abundance and species composition within communities based on Badagongshan 25-ha forest plot census data. In my postdoc research, I seeks determinants of large-scale species diversity pattern from contemporary climates, climate changes and evolutionary history etc. I am interested in providing sound scientific basis for managements and policy decision-making regarding biodiversity resources.
