研究領域和研究方向
主要研究領域為生態系統生態學、全球變化生態學和農林氣象學。長期致力於農業系統對全球變化的回響和適應研究。圍繞領域前沿科學和國家重大需求問題，從農業系統對過去氣候變化的回響和適應機理、農業系統模型創建和未來氣候變化影響預估和適應對策，到農業水土資源變化及糧食安全綜合集成研究。
近期科研進展
近年來，收集整理多源資料，建立了農業多要素多尺度長期歷史資料庫，發展了系列先進的理論方法和模型系統，在我國農業耕作系統、農業水資源和農業生產對季節氣候變率和長期氣候變化回響的事實、機制、規律及時空分異規律等方面有多項創新成果。針對困擾當前氣候變化影響預測研究中的不確定性問題，發展了MCWLA系列作物模型和超集合機率預測的理論方法，研發了新一代氣候變化影響評價工具“區域農業對氣候變化回響和適應的超集合預測系統”，在大尺度作物模型的發展和氣候變化影響評價研究的不確定問題上取得重要突破。系統開展全球變化、農業水土資源變化和糧食安全綜合集成研究。目前已在國內外核心期刊發表論文100餘篇，其中SCI核心期刊論文70篇。研究成果被《科學》雜誌新聞焦點報導，被歐洲農學學會作為亮點報導，被IPCC評價報告多次引用和高度評價。
