    Xingjie Lu is interested in studying ecosystem C cycle responses to climate change using compartment models. He focuses on understanding the response in traceable components of C cycle models, such as residence time and productivity. He also engaged in cutting-edge developments of trait-based terrestrial ecosystem models, trying to incorporate plant trait database into terrestrial ecosystem models.
