Xin works in the field combing high performance computation and ecosystem. Currently, her research mainly focuses on sensitivity analysis of terrestrial models based on observation data, trying to identify their influentially uncertain components and capture different models’ divergence along with their developments, especially Community Land Models (CLMs). This work contributes to the evaluation and improvement of Earth System Models (ESMs) for more accurate climate change predictions.

A trio of illustrated panels depicts the soil microbial communities in three treatments of a long-term warming experiment north of Flagstaff, Arizona. The panels are labeled in gray text, left to right: control, short-term warming, long-term warming. The control treatment, far left, depicts bacteria, protists, and other microorganisms identified by sequencing the soil’s metagenome in yellow, orange, green, and blue, along with chains of available nutrients. Soil depicted in the center panel, which has undergone short-term warming, shows an increased abundance and diversity of microbes, some of which are growing, incorporating nutrients, and respiring carbon dioxide. The soil that has undergone long-term warming, imagined in the panel on the right, shows fewer microbial species and competitive relationships that are developing for control of the scarcer nutrients.
