His research on the global carbon cycle and greenhouse gas emissions is at the leading edge of the field. His research has covered a range of topics including studies of human and natural impacts on the structure and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems across the globe including tropical forests in the Amazon Basin, Southeast Asia and Africa, boreal and temperate forests in North America and East Asia, grasslands in United States, Central Asia and Africa, croplands in China and United States Carbon and nutrient (N, P, Si) dynamics at the land-ocean interfaces and Energy, water and carbon exchanges between land ecosystems and the atmosphere. Research: His primary research focuses on understanding and quantifying biosphere’s roles in global biogeochemical and hydrological cycles and the climate system, and how human activities have affected Earth’s ecosystem ability in providing people with goods and services including food, energy and water, and providing a scientific basis for solutions to the major environmental challenges facing humanity and the society.
