Research
Professor Wen Zhongming has a strong background on ecology and his research interests focuses mainly on 1) the ecological restoration and its environmental impact, spanning from ecological processes to landscape patterns, from community assembly to ecosystem functions in the Loess Plateau; 2) the development of trait-base ecological restoration theory and techniques in arid and semiarid areas in the China; 3) research on the impact of revegetationprojects such as Grain for Green” on the runoff and sediment production on the Loess Plateau.
