Yan Zhaogui

I am a Professor in Department of Forestry at Huazhong Agricultural University (HZAU). I have worked in applied ecology in both the Chinese and Australian institutions for over 30 years. I have taught undergraduate and postgraduate units in ecology and resource management. My research interests broadly span the science and management of agricultural–natural ecosystems, including forest biodiversity, fire ecology, and plant-soil nutrient cycle.
