Research interests

1. How does terrestrial ecosystem affect climate system?

2. What is the important ecological factor for constraining environment?

3. Where is the threshold for terrestrial ecosystem to respond irreversibly to environmental change?

What are we doing?

1. Simulation of the interaction between vegetation distribution and climate change by terrestrial ecosystem modelling

2. Estimation of ecosystem-level photosynthesis by remote-sensing and field investigation

3. Estimation of the contribution by climate change to crop production by the inventory statistics
