　　报 告 人：朱锴   博士 

　　时    间：2016年6月7日（周二）下午4:00-5:30 

　　地    点：青藏高原所 915会议室 

　　主 持 人：沈妙根  副研究员 

　　报告人简介： 

　　　　Dr. Kai Zhu is currently a Huxley Faculty Fellow (Lecturer) at Rice University, and will soon be an Assistant Professor at University of Texas, Arlington. He completed his postdoc from Stanford University, and received his PhD in ecology and MS in statistics from Duke University and Bachelor in physics from Beijing Normal University. Dr. Zhu is a global ecologist and data scientist, interested in global change biology and biostatistics. His research centers on the intersection of climate change, biodiversity, and ecosystem, by merging observations, experiments, and models to inform new knowledge. His current study systems include forest, grassland, and human disease. 

　　报告内容简介：  

　　　　Global change biology studies interactions between environmental change and biological systems, concerns a range of scales of biological responses and feedbacks, and often involves big data and big models. In this talk, I present two examples of global change biology research. The spatial analysis of eastern US forests suggests that trees migrate much slower than expected, lagging behind rapid climate change; that mycorrhizal guilds might be an emerging functional trait that reveals forest resilience to changing climate. The temporal analysis of a California grassland experiment suggests that grassland production has non-linear responses to climate and is limited by resources; that below ground carbon might help to understand and predict global change effects.
