Professional positioning and core goals

Ecology is a discipline that studies the laws governing the interaction between organisms and their environment. It integrates theories from multiple fields such as biology, environmental science, geography, and mathematics, and is dedicated to addressing major issues such as ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, and global climate change. Its core goals include:

Reveal ecological mechanisms: such as species distribution patterns (the relationship between polar bear habitats and sea ice), community succession processes (vegetation recovery after forest fires);

Assess environmental impacts: the stress effect of industrial pollution on river ecosystems, and the impact of urbanization on bird diversity;

Formulate conservation strategies: restoration of habitats for endangered species (such as the giant panda), and ecological reconstruction of degraded wetlands (such as the Sanjiang Plain);

Addressing Global Challenges: Estimation of Forest Carbon Sinks under the Carbon Neutrality Goal and Prediction of the Impact of Climate Warming on Agricultural Ecosystems.
