Dr. Yu YongQiang is currently an associate professor working at LAPC, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is a principal contributor to the Agro-C model which simulates the carbon budget of agroecosystems. He programmed Agro-C code with Fortran language. He completed his Ph. D. dissertation, which includes the Agro-C development, validation and sensitivity analysis, and application of model in simulating the carbon budgets of rice-wheat rotation ecosystems in China by linking the model and GIS. He has been involved in six research projects, which are: a) “Study on Carbon Budget in Terrestrial and Marginal Sea Ecosystems of China” (2001-2005) granted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences; b) “Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in China: Terrestrial Carbon and Crop Production” (2007-2009) granted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences; c) “Carbon Cycling and Driven Mechanisms in Chinese Terrestrial Ecosystems” (2003-2007) granted by the Ministry of Science and Technology, China; d) “The Impact Evaluation of Climate Change on Chinese Food Production” (2008-2010) granted by China Meteorological Administration; e) “Enabling China to Prepare Its Second National Communication to the UNFCCC TOR5, China’s Inventory of GHG emissions from LUCF Sector” (2008-2009) granted by Global Environment Fund; and, f) “The development and validation of carbon and nitrogen cycles model on watershed” (2011-2015) granted by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
    He has been working with development and validation of the Agro-C model in all these projects. He, as a principal investigator in these projects, is in particular responsible for studies on soil carbon sequestration in Chinese croplands under climate change scenarios, assessment of climate change impact on Chinese agriculture, and simulating climate change impact on rice and wheat production in China.
