讲座简介：
Forest is one of the most important ecosystem types that store carbon, mitigate climate, and provide critical ecosystem services. Anthropogenic impacts on forest dynamics are increasingly seen in recent decades, and the incorporation of human population processes into forest dynamics modelling is therefore desirable for improving next generation Earth system models. In the current talk, I first review my work on forest ecology and forest dynamics. Then I present ideas on developing a research program that investigates forest changes under human population growth and migrations. In particular, we are interested in how human population migration may affect the regrowth of secondary forests in China over the past several decades.
Expertise ecosystem feedbacks, climate and terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycles; Dr. Chen is an ecologist working on a variety of topics in ecology and climate change, in particular ecosystem feedbacks to climate change. He uses a variety of data sources (forest survey, remote sensing, climate data, field data) and tools (statistical analysis, ecosystem modelling) to study the interactions between climate and terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycles from local to global scales. His research also aims to understand the impacts of climate change on human health, and evolutionary dynamics of ecological communities. Dr. Chen received a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences from Peking University (2000) and a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Princeton University (2009).
