Liyan Wang, a professor of Jiangxi Academy of Forestry, mainly focuses on improving the quality of degraded forest and creating new forests. Theoretical research was not the core of his career before. Yet, with the deepening recognition of forest ecology, he also tried to focus on research rather than only applied forestry technologies.Although he has no sci papers, he has published several Chinese research papers about the variation on soil properties, soil microbial communities, and trees before and after the degradation or recovery of forests.
