Biography
"Prof. Shuqing AN is working as a professor in the school of Life Sciences, Nanjing University, China. His research interst focusses on restoration and reconstruction of structure and function of vegetations, and 4 fields are included as the followings. 1ã€Wetland ecology and ecological engineering of wetland restoration: Tissue culture and mass propagation of plant tool species, wetland vegetation restoration, carbon/nitrogen/phosphorus/sulfur biogeochemical cycles in wetlands, treated wetland and constructed wetland, planning, design, environmental evaluation and of wetland reserves and parks, rehabilitation of wetland ecosystems. 2ã€Forest ecology and biodiversity conservation: Vegetation structure, dynamic changes, hydrological function, functional group restoration; loss and conservation of genetic diversity of rare, endangered and important species, trade-off between seeds and seedlings of tree species. 3ã€Conservation and reconstruction of freshwater forested wetland: Distribution pattern, reginal characteristics, mechanism of degradation and missing, identification of key dominant species, conservation, restoration and rehabilitation of freshwater forested wetlands. 4ã€Biological invasions in wetlands and global changes: Mechanism and management of Spartina alterniflora invasions, decline mechanism and population restoration of Spartina anglica, impact of Spartina invasions on circulation of key life-needed elements, trace gas release and global changes of Spartina saltmarshes.
