Landscape Ecology and Sustainability Science
Welcome to the QIU Lab at the University of Florida!
Our biosphere is facing critical sustainability challenges that require systems thinking and integration of knowledge across disciplinary and sectoral boundaries. The Qiu Lab at the University of Florida conducts basic and applied research that lies at the intersection of Landscape ecology, Ecosystem services, Global environmental change, Sustainability science, and Social-ecological systems.
Our overarching research goal is to understand and predict how global environmental changes alter ecosystems and biodiversity at regional to global scales, and their consequences for ecosystem services (benefits people obtain from nature such as food, freshwater, recreation, flood mitigation, and stable climate) that underpin human well-being. We are particularly interested in understanding effects of multiple drivers of global change and their interactions. Our research is primarily focused on human-dominated landscapes where human closely interacts with nature, and has taken place in agroecosystems and urban ecosystems. Our ultimate goal is to generate actionable knowledge and develop solutions for real-world conservation, management, and policy challenges.
