研究方向

致力于应用驱动的群落生态学基础研究:主要以高寒草地为对象,探讨群落生物多样性形成、维持和变化机理及其与生态系统功能关系。为从根本上说明生物多样性的重要性,在甘南高寒草甸建立了长期(20~30)物种剔除和群落次生演替试验,在新疆伊犁草原设置的关键生态因子控制试验平台。主要研究少数派的个体(种内变异)、群体(稀有物种)和本土文化在全球变化下的消亡及其在群落结构和生态系统功能动态中的作用

1)群落种内性状变异成因,动态生态位及其在群落构建和生态系统功能中的作用

2)稀有物种介导的草地食物网结构于性状多样性的生态网络动态及其功能

3)草原文化和本土知识融合生态学推进草地可持续利用和适应性管理对策。
