Biography
Qianlai Zhuang’s research focuses on the interactions among atmosphere, biosphere, and human dimension in the context of climate change, chemical element
cycles, and policy-making. One of his major research activities is on carbon exchanges between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere by investigating how
changes of climate, soil physics (e.g., permafrost dynamics, change of soil moisture), atmospheric chemicals (e.g., CO2 and O 3), land-use and land-cover (e.g., fire
disturbances), affect the carbon assimilation and decomposition with both process-based and inversion modeling approaches. My second major research activity
is on modeling CH4 exchanges between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems. My third major research activity is on analyzing consequences of air pollutants
for ecosystem services and the economy.
