<p>The core of <em>Macroecology</em> and <em>Biogeography</em> is to
document spatial distribution of biodiversity and related ecological and
evolutionary processes. Taking the advantages of biodiversity big data
(biodiversity informatics) and emerging technologies, we have general
interests in large-scale biodiversity patterns and the underlying
mechanisms.</p>

<p>Elevational gradients have been served as <span
style="color:red">Natural Laboratories</span> for ecological studies.
Mountains play critical roles for conserving terrestrial biodiversity,
carbon and water. Home to great biodiversity and high levels of
endemism, mountains are especially vulnerable to global changes in
climate and land uses.</p>

<p>Inspired by the early works in elevational gradients, we initialed a
regional research network <span style="color:red">BEST (Biodiversity
along Elevational gradients: Shifts and Transitions)</span> in 2017, to
monitor long-term biodiversity dynamics of multiple taxa (e.g., vascular
plants, mosses, soil microbes, and birds) under climate change and land
use. Microclimates (temperature and moisture of air and soil) are
measured and served as one key element to understand community dynamics
across space and time. Some new technologies, such as drones and
bioacoustic audio recorders, also plan to use for the monitoring. By
collaborating with over 15 research teams with different backgrounds, we
have set up over 200 permanant plots in 12 mountains across a large
research area mainly in subtropical forest region of China. If you are
interested to know more about the ongoing data collection, please visit

“On the basis of a comprehensive description of locations, it will not
be difficult to verify my species lists, and an increase or decrease of
species richness in the future will be possible to detect with high
certainty” — Josias Braun-Blanquet, 1913

<p>The only thing that remains constant is CHANGE. In biological
communities, everything changes over space and time. Long-term
biodiversity monitoring is fundamental in ecology and biogeography. Our
research group addresses the fundamental questions in forest plant
dynamics using the long-term monitoring data in boreal, temperate,
subtropical and tropical forests (e.g., Canadian permanent sampling
plots, US Forest Inventory Analysis, CTFS-ForestGEO and CForBio).</p>
<p>Meanwhile, with the huge helps from a lot of senior ecologists and
young scholars, we took over five-year enormous efforts to compile the
vegetation dynamic data in China’s subtropical and tropical regions.
<strong>Vegetation Archive of Subtropical and Tropical regions in China
(VAST-China)</strong> is the database composed of many plot (relevé)
data on every type of vegetation in China’s subtropical and tropical
regions (23°~33°N, 98°~123°E). Until December 2021, VAST-China includes
<strong>over 10,000</strong> temporary/permanent sampling plots. For
each plot, the information were gathered on both the vegetation
composition and physical environment. These data were collected by over
1000 different sources, including personal collections by ourselves and
other researchers of East China Normal University, and published books,
monographs or journal articles. More details can be found here: <a

<p>Spatial ecology has been called as <strong>“The Final Frontier for
Ecological Theory”</strong>. Lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles
(Drones) are revolutionizing spatial ecology within last decade. Using
the drones equipped with visible cameras, LiDAR and hyperspectal
