Professional Interests:
My research interests focus on the ecohydrology of the soil–vegetation system restoration in arid sandy desert areas, such as the evapotranspiration and water balance for sandbinding vegetation at different spatial scales, the influence of biological soil crusts on the soil hydrological process and relationship dynamics between hydrological processes, vegetation patterns and precipitation in desert regions.
Research Areas:
Restoration Ecology
Ecohydrology
