Ecosystem Modelling & Observation Integration
– Tang’s Group
The research group focuses on understanding terrestrial ecosystem dynamics and associated feedback under changing climate. We develop and apply ecosystem models, and integrate different scales of observation data into models to explore process interactions and climatic feedback.
Our group investigates how terrestrial ecosystems respond to and influence climate change. We use ecosystem models in combination with observational data across multiple scales to better understand key ecological processes and their feedbacks within the Earth system.
- We study processes regulating ecosystem fluxes of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), CO2 and CH4, and quantify biochemical feedbacks of these fluxes to the atmosphere.
- We explore vegetation-water-carbon interactions within terrestrial ecosystems as well as process interactions between land and aquatic ecosystems with the linkages through water and soil-leached dissolved matters
- We aim to understand the dynamics of plant-experienced temperature and the importance of thermal acclimation of arctic plants.
Our research group is supported by:
- Villum Young Investigator
- DFF-1 Arctic Research
- Danish National Research Foundation
Our research group offers courses at the bachelor’s, master’s, PhD, and postdoc levels within general and advanced terrestrial ecology.
