I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Peking University, having studied for a PhD that focused on agricultural management and land-use change impact on arthropods at the Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University. I am broadly interested in the trade-offs between production and environmental conservation, and my current research focuses on land management of agriculture and forestry for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation.
My previous research has demonstrated the possibility of a win-win situation between biodiversity and yield in global organic farming. My other Ph.D. research also found declines of natural enemy diversity after land consolidation without yield increase in South China. These research findings highlight that both win-win and lose-lose situations can exist between biodiversity and other land management objectives. The key is to identify ways of managing land resources to reach win-win outcomes and avoid lose-lose situations – which may be a key our solution for the challenge of achieving both production and environment conservation.
