Zhanyong Fu is currently a PhD at School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology-Beijing. His lab focuses on how global changes affect terrestrial ecosystems and ecosystem stability, in particular the temperate grassland on the Inner Mongolia. Recently, his lab has centered on three general areas: 1) Understanding how climate change alters above- and below-ground productivity and ecosystem functioning; 2) Understanding connections among soil, herbivores, plants, and ecosystem function; 3) Understanding the scale-dependent interactions of shifting ecosystem composition, stability, and ecological processes.
