Research Topics, Overview of the research

• Research Topics

  Functional plant ecology
  - Ecophysiology of the upper canopy of tropical forests（carbon and nutrient cycles, phenology, climate-change impacts)
  - Seedling regeneration ecology of tropical tree species
  - Ecology and evolution of functional trait diversity of plants in temperate and tropical forests
  - Impacts of deer and wild pigs on forest tree regeneration and community dynamics
  - Ecosystem cycling of mineral elements (e.g., silicon and nitrogen) via plants in tropical forest
  - Functional basis for competitiveness of invasive exotic plants
  - Functional ecology of coupled human-natural systems
  

• Overview of the research

  For over three decades, I have conducted plant ecological research, especially in tropical forests. My main research topics include functional trait variations within and among species, plant responses to temporal and spatial variations of environmental factors. In particular, my research on growth-survival trade-offs in seedling regeneration of forest tree species has been widely recognised. Recently, I am very interested in differences in tropical tree species in their silicon utilisation patterns, from this that actively accumulate high concentrations of silicon in leaves and other tissues to those thot avoid silicon entry into the roots. I am currently working to reveal phylogenetic and biogeographical patterns of silicon accumulation by plants. In order to apply my expertise in functional ecology of biodiversity maintenance in tropical forests, I am increasingly engaged in collaborative research projects and advise students in topics on sustainable use and conservation of tropical forests.
