Professionnal  experience

  1. To investigate inter-annual growth response of trees and forests to climate change/warming in the northern hemisphere using dendrochronology and forest ecology.
  2. To monitor intra-annual xylem formation and tree phenology(budburst, flowering and shoots/branches extension) in response to climate change and further clarify the potential mechanisms behind.
  3. To quantify the potential relationships between tree growth and environmental factors using linear/nonlinear and mixed models, and further assess the potential changes in forest growth, composition, and structure under global change.

Area of expertise

Current themes : Global change and forest ecology, Growth response and adaptation of trees to climate change

Key words : Wood formation, tree rings, dendrochronology, climate change, mixed modeling, N deposition, global change
