Dr. Meng joined the Huazhong Agricultural University in 2020 after spending several years as a biodiversity Postdoctoral Fellow at Wuhan Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Dr. Meng is interested in understanding the biogeography and evolution of key functional traits of rare plants and investigating the assembly of rare plant communities to predict and conserve rare species.
