My research focuses on the impacts of global change on grassland ecosystems and the underlying mechanisms. Currently, I am utilizing the Extreme Drought in Grasslands Experiment (EDGE) to investigate how productivity in different grassland ecosystems responds to extreme drought and to identify the factors driving variations in these responses. In the future, I plan to use the Drought Network to explore the thresholds of productivity response to extreme drought at regional scales. Additionally, I will leverage the NPKD Network to examine the interactive effects of drought and nutrient availability on the diversity of grassland ecosystems.
