Research Interests

(1) I have performed some research to quantify drought severity with growth sensitivity being considered, in the past years. 
(2) Now I am interesting in water-use strategy of steppe plants, especially in how fast of the plants could adjust water-use strategy in response to environmental changes. Stable carbon isotope and microscope analysis are the techniques employed.

Collaboration

While closely collaborate with Chinese scientists, I have no international collaborators. If you would like to cooperate with me, never hesitate to contact me with hsh.niu(at)gmail.com, as well as niuhs(at)gucas.ac.cn.
