Dr Lan Qie

A passion for the tropical forests enabled me to sidestep from engineering into ecology and I can’t help having unconventional ideas from time to time. My research interests have widely encompassed forest carbon stock and global change, biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and conservation. Much of my work took place in Southeast Asia, especially Borneo, where I quantified the long-term forest carbon stock and the ecosystem response to El Niño drought. I also work on projects that apply ecological understanding to conservation and management practices in the UK including nature recovery (e.g. rewilding). I take a multidisciplinary approach with collaborations spanning agri-food, computer science and engineering and arts and humanities.
