I am interested in plant invasion and plant-soil interactions.

My PhD project mainly focused on the performance of alien and native species on plant-plant and plant-soil interactions through the experimental and theoretical approaches.

Now my research extends to the interactions between global change and plants. I hope to combine experimental projects and meta-analysis to explore general patterns of the relationship between multiple global climate change factors and alien and native plants.
