Dr. Yulong Zhang is a research scientist in Dr. Wenhong Li’s group at 51±¬ÁÏ and a visiting researcher in USDA Forest Service and Oak Ridge National Lab. His research interests are mainly focused on quantifying and understanding the roles of forest ecosystems in regulating global and regional carbon and water dynamics based on multi-source remote sensing, ground observations, eco-hydrological models, and machine learning. He is particularly interested in monitoring and assessing the response and recovery of forest structure and functions under anthropogenic and natural disturbances at different spatial scales, shedding lights on the potential and vulnerability of forests in maintaining key ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration and water yield regulation). Dr. Zhang obtained his PhD from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, conducted postdoctoral research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and held a research assistant professorship at the University of Tennessee Knoxville and a senior research fellowship in USDA Forest Service.
