Current Research

Yude is currently a senior research scientist with the Northern Global Change Program of US Forest Service and Associate Faculty at University of Pennsylvania. She is newly elected president of Asian Ecology Section of Ecological Society of America. Her research projects primarily include, but not limited to,

  1. biological responses of terrestrial ecosystems to multiple environmental stresses with emphasis on understanding complex interactions among biotic and abiotic processes and between ecosystem structural and functional dynamics;
  2. American Carbon Program (NACP) research on forest ecosystems and land-water interactions, with particular interests on attributing the relative importance of disturbances (natural and anthropogenic), forest succession, climatic variability and atmospheric chemistry on carbon source and sink dynamics; and
  3. consequence and projection of anthropogenic nitrogen deposition on northeastern forests in terms of changing productivity and function for retaining inputs of nitrogen deposition, nitrogen saturation and critical loads for nitrogen deposition.

Her work is closely associated with the development of mechanistic ecosystem models which link to geographic information systems for landscape-scale and spatial applications. Her research has integrated intensive field studies with modeling approaches, combining strengths of both process- and statistical-based methods with hierarchic observations and measurements from forest inventories, eddy flux towers and remote sensing for understanding how ecosystem function across multiple scales of organization. She has been involved in a series of collaborative projects for understanding and quantifying the impacts of climate changes on forest ecosystems and watershed health in Northeastern and the Mid-Atlantic regions, and for North America. She is also conducting the international studies of forest carbon with colleagues in Canada and China. She has been a PI and C-PI of several NASA projects and the USFS Climate Change Research Grants.
