05. 14. 2025 | Dr. Yitong Yao from The Columbia University visited the Carbon Cycle Lab and delivered an enlightening presentation on plant carbon-water coupling under climate change. (华南生态环境论坛第42期，气候变化下的植物碳水耦合).

05. 11. 2025 | Prof. Donghai Wu, together with team members Dr. Mengkai Ding and Dr. Yelong Zeng, participated in the 10th Youth Geoscience Forum held in Hefei, Anhui Province. Donghai Wu, together with Wenfang Xu (South China Botanical Garden) and Haicheng Zhang (Sun Yat-sen University), co-organized a dedicated session entitled "Carbon Sink Monitoring and Modeling in Forest Ecosystems." The session invited 13 early-career scholars from research institutions including the Institute of Applied Ecology (Chinese Academy of Sciences), the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research (Chinese Academy of Sciences), Peking University, Sun Yat-sen University, Wuhan University, and Zhejiang University of Technology. The presentations showcased recent advances in carbon sink dynamics monitoring, high-precision modeling, remote sensing integration, and artificial intelligence applications. The session emphasized an integrated research framework of “dynamic monitoring–mechanism analysis–model optimization,” highlighting methodological innovations and the potential of interdisciplinary integration and data synthesis in forest carbon cycle research.

04. 22. 2025 | To better understand the history of land use changes in the Dinghushan Nature Reserve, members of the Carbon Cycle Lab visited Qingyun Temple to explore historical imprints. The monsoon evergreen broadleaf forest of Dinghushan has undergone natural succession for ~400 years, and the temple has played a key role in the historical conservation of the forest ecosystem.
