Tong Qiu is a broadly trained ecologist interested in understanding the response of the terrestrial ecosystem to global change at regional to global scales. His lab takes a data-model synthesis approach that integrates satellite and airborne remote sensing, monitoring networks, and forest inventory with statistical models to develop nature-based solutions to fight climate change. Specifically, his lab has a couple of research themes: 1) Deriving habitat characteristics for forest trees and the vast community it supports using combined LiDAR and Hyperspectral imagery; 2) Revealing the climate-habitat interactions that govern biodiversity change; 3) Understanding variations in seed production and how they related to climate, nutrient availability, and species traits; 4) Evaluating forest regeneration from fecundity to seedling recruitment to adult trees; 5) Balancing human needs (e.g ., food and water) with the needs of wildlife species (e.g., habitat and healthy soil).
