Research Interests

I mainly study soil-vegetation-atmosphere interactions using long-term field observation, remote sensing tools and model simulation. My research work includes geography, remote sensing, plant physiology, and climate change. I am particularly interested in the intelligent management of grassland by developing novel approaches to quantify photosynthesis and plant traits automatically. At present, using an intelligent spectral observation system, I obtained a long sequence and high-frequency solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) from a variety of plants. This set of SIF data could be used to bridge the gap between observations and models and to diagnose plant health.
