I obtained my PhD in Ecology at Sun Yat-sen University, China, in 2021. During my PhD studies, I focused on a biogeographic puzzle that was described by Linnaeus for the first time, which is the diversity anomaly for plants that disjunctly distributed in eastern Asia and eastern North America. 
I used topography and climate variables to explore what may potentially lead to the diversity anomaly and to what extent the niches of disjunct plants are conserved or diverged. I then spent two years at Aarhus University, Denmark. My research was concerned with a long-term experiment to see how planting methods and grazing would affect reforestation.
