RESEARCH INTERESTS
The major research interests focus on Environmental Quality and Ecological Health of
Wetland Ecosystems in Response to Rapid Urbanization. Some ongoing studies include:
 Responses of environmental quality and ecological health in wetland ecosystems to
urbanization;
 Long-term study on environmental and ecological responses of urban streams to urbanization;
 Plant-soil microbe interaction: A mechanism to explain invasion of alien plant species in
coastal wetland ecosystems;
 Microbial community and function of wetland ecosystems in responses to global changes.
