天童国家站与加拿大阿尔伯特大学开展生态模型和土壤生态过程方面的研究工作。聘期该大学知名教授何芳良博士和张小川博士分别为我站长江讲座教授和紫江讲座教授。We focus on understanding how and why species disperse, colonize, and persist in landscapes. We actively engage in research synthesizing and explaining macroecological patterns of biodiversity across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. We embrace both theoretical and empirical approaches to pursue our interest. The keywords of our research interest includes: population/community ecology, biodiversity and conservation, biogeography, evolutionary ecology, conservation biology, spatial statistics, biometrics, sustainable management of boreal forests, impact of climate change on species distribution.We focus on forest soils and Nutrient Dynamics.The keywords of our research interest includes: Forest soil processes, soil microbial ecology, carbon sequestration, application of N-15 tracer in forest soils research, forest fertilization, tree nutrition, forest ecophysiology, and silviculture-soil management interactions.
