My research interests focus on the theory and technology of forest cultivation, including soil ecology in bamboo cultivation and the efficient and sustainable management of bamboo forests. I am also engaged in the study on understanding how agricultural management (e.g., tillage) and climate change (e.g., warming) affect soil carbon cycling in agroecosystem based on several research approaches (e.g., field study, meta-analysis, and incubation experiment).
