Our group is primarily engaged in research on the mechanisms of invasive species (i.e., Galinsoga quadriradiata, Solidago canadensis, Alternanthera sessilis, etc.) under the background of climate change, maintenance mechanisms of community biodiversity, the impacts of global change factors and invasive species on carbon and nitrogen cycling, and the restoration of damaged ecosystems. In recent years, our research has focused on the plant-microbe interactions during the spread of invasive plants, ecological niche shifts during plant invasions, prediction and control techniques for invasive species spread, and the impacts of invasive organisms on biodiversity and carbon/nitrogen cycling processes.
