Successional serials of EBLF (5 long-term monitoring plots from the primary succession period to the advanced succession period of EBLF with an area of 50 m * 50 m for each plot, focusing on dynamics of EBLF and nutrient cycling). Forest dynamic plot (a forest plot with an area of 500 m*400 m for forest biodiversity and plant functional traits research, belongs to the Chinese forest biodiversity monitoring network).Troughfall displacement experiment plot (3 treatments: control, 70% througfall displacement, light interference, focusing on soil carbon cycle and soil microbial diversity) Nutrients fertilization experiment plot (6 treatments: control, 50N,100N, 50P, 50N+50P, 100N+50P, focusing on carbon and nutrient cycling response)Biochar addition experiment plot (3 treatments: Control, 400t, 1200t, focusing on plant growth, soil moisture, nutrient leaching, etc.).Young forest tending plots (set in several fields around our station, focusing on using ecological theory for EBLF restoration).     

    Scientists of ECNU started research in Tiantong from1980s. In 1992, Tiantong Ecological Research Station of Department of Environmental Science, ECNU was set up. TINAS became a member of China National Ecosystem Observation and Research Network (CNERN). Our station was rewarded by China government for excellent field work in 2009.    1992 year                                                                                                     1995 year          2007 year                                                                                                     2010 year      2011 year                                                                                                     2012 year
