Liu Lab
Welcome to my lab!
We specialize in plant ecology research, with a particular focus on biological invasions and global change biology. Our methodology integrates short-term greenhouse experiments, long-term field studies, and data analytics to test hypotheses and quantify plant ecology processes across various spatial and temporal scales. Our research revolves around the following key questions:
1) How do global changes directly and indirectly affect plant invasion?
2) What factors contribute to the success of invasive alien plants, and how to control them?
3) How does environmental pollution, resulting from human activities, affect ecosystems?
