Biography

Zhanqing Hao focused on the biodiversity and ecosystem functions. As one of the Chinese scientists who participated in biodiversity research, he initiated the establishment of 25ha temperate permanent monitoring forest plot in Northeast China at 2004, which is the earliest established temperate forest plot in China and had been an important member of Chinese Forest Biodiversity Monitoring Network (CForBio) and Global Earth Forest Observatory Network (Forest GEO). In addition, a series of forest plots had been established along successional stages and latitude gradients in Northeast China. All those forest plot provided great opportunity to detect the biodiversity patterns and maintaining mechanisms in temperate forests.
