Undergraduate
• Biotechnology
Bored by the endless experiments in the lab
• Ecology
Because of many travels, got the new interest in Ecology.
Why Yunnan?
• Richest biodiversity.
• Minority culture.
--- 26 out of 56 nations
• Common boundary with several countries.
• Wonderful landscape : snow mountain, stone forest, primary forest and so on
Master Program: International tropical and
subtropical forest
My foreign classmates are neally all from tropical and subtropical country :
Vietnam, Indonesia, Phillipine, Nepal, China, Peru, Brazil, Sudan, Ethiopia, Cameroon
Others are from Japan, Belgium, USA, Germany
Why Germany?
• One of the most developed country all over the world
• Long history and colorful culture• The origin of -- The word of sustainability -- Near to nature forest• Great efforts to protect the environment• Strong-minded and hardworking people • Free tuition
Courses• Sixteen lectures
-- Biometric data analysis and forest dynamics -- Ecopedology of the tropics and subtropics -- Forest development policy -- Forest inventory -- Forest utilization and wood processing -- International forest economics -- Project planning, management and evaluation -- Tropical forest ecology and silviculture -- Applications of remote sensing and GIS -- Bioclimatology and global change -- Dryland forestry and methods in silviculture -- Forest genetics and plantation forestry -- Forest protection and agroforestry -- Forestry in Germany -- Impacts of forest disturbance
-- Multidisciplinary Research in Tropical
Production Systems
• Mini project
“ Managing sustainable forestry systems (in Germany)”
-- My topic : Bioenergy utilisation
• Main project
-- Soil respiration rate measurement in Sulawesi, Indonesia
Storma – interdisciplinary Objectives-- find out the destabilisation of forest margins -- analyze those factors, processes and principles
which facilitate the maintenance of stability there Sub – project A Social and economic dynamicsSub – project B Water and nutrient turnoverSub – project C BiodiversitySub – project D Land use system
Storma :Cooperatory
Two universities from Germany
University of KasselUniversity of Goettingen
Two universities from Indonesia
Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) in Java The Universitas Tadulako (UNTAD) in Palu, Central Sulawesi
Sub-project B
B1 Effects of land use on the exchange of water, carbon dioxide and energy between the rain forest margin area and the atmosphere
B2 The influence of pedo-hydrological changes on water and
nutrient cycles B3 Nitrogen oxide emissions from old-growth tropical rainforests
and land use systems B4 Changes in the hydrological cycle along a gradient of forest
use intensity
Description of the site
• located on south of the equator on 119° eastern longitude
• controlled by the Australian-Asian monsoon system
• annual precipitation of about 2500 mm • a mountainous region with peaks up to 2600
