Xiongwen Chenn Biography

Research

Dr. Chen is interested in using field information, ecological modeling and analysis, remote sensing, and GIS for research in ecological processes at different scales, especially for complex forest ecosystem (and landscape) dynamics, biodiversity conservation, and integrated management for ecological services under climatic change and human activities.
