报告题目：Quantifying the complex and dynamic impacts of climate change on tree growth and carbon stocks in different forest ecosystems of Australia, China, Europe and USA
报告人简介：
In the past 30 years, Prof. Zhihong Xu has undertaken research projects extensively in: (a) biogeochemical processes of carbon (C) and nutrient cycling; (b) development and application of stable isotope, biomolecular and physiological technologies for assessing both genetic and environmental controls of plant water and nutrient use efficiency; (c) soil fertility and plant nutrition; (d) development and application of advanced stable isotope, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and biomolecular technologies for studying important biogeochemical processes; and (e) innovative tree ring technologies for unravelling long-term impacts of climate change on biogeochemical cycles, ecosystem productivity and biodiversity.
Prof. Xu has been Director of Environmental Futures Research Institute at Griffith University, Nathan, Brisbane, Queensland, since 2009. He has published 236 refereed journal and conference papers (including 178 refereed journal papers) and 2 books, with 156 refereed papers (136 journal papers) in the past 10 years. He has secured more than A$20M of external funding support, with most coming from national competitive grants. He is the Editor-in-Chief (Soils) of Journal of Soils and Sediments (SCI IF 2012: 1.965 and an average SCI IF of 2.698 for the 6 years between 2007 and 2012, No. 2 in the 32 Soil Science journals according to the 6-year average SCI IF, just after the 6-year average SCI IF of 3.147 for Soil Biol. Biochem. (SCI IF 2012: 3.654)), Editor of Environmental Science & Pollution Research (SCI IF 2012: 2.618), Consulting Editor of Plant and Soil (2005-2013) (SCI IF 2012: 2.638); and regularly reviews manuscripts for 65 international journals. Prof. Xu was a member of the Australian Research Council (ARC) 2012 Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) Committee of Environmental Sciences and Engineering and a member of the ARC College of Experts (2008–10). Prof. Xu is the Chair for the Forest Soils Working Group of International Union of Soil Science (IUSS) since 2006.
