Dr. Wang's research interests include: understanding the mechanisms and dynamics of carbon, water, and heat flux in semi-arid and arid grassland ecosystems by using eddy covariance data and a LI-6400 photosynthesis system in Inner Mongolia. The long-term field observation has been made in a typical grassland dominated by Stipa krylovii and a desert steppe dominated by Stipa Klemenzii; 2) exploring the effect of human activities to structure and the function of grassland ecosystems in Inner Mongolia, the Songnen Plain, and the Tibetan plateau based on long-term field observation data and modeling; 3) evaluating the potential changes of grassland ecosystem function (NPP, soil organic carbon) under different scenarios of climatic change and elevated atmospheric CO2 based on terrestrial ecosystem modeling and manipulative experiments.
