ABOUT

FIND OUT WHAT THIS LAB DOES

Our research program is designed to advance understanding of plant-soil linkages under the global environmental change and soil carbon-climate feedbacks across spatial and temporal scales. We have used diverse approaches to our research, including experimentation, observation, and data synthesis. Although a lot of our researches are performed in wetland ecosystems, other types of ecosystems such as forests and grasslands are selected for specific scientific questions.
