Jie Liang

Dr. Jie Liang is a Research Fellow in the Division of Plant Sciences at the Australian National University (ANU). His research focuses on plant water use efficiency, isotopic processes in mangrove ecosystems, and scaling physiological mechanisms to regional environmental dynamics. He holds a BSc in Geographic Science from Sun Yat-Sen University (2014) and a PhD in Ecology from Tsinghua University (2019), supervised by Prof. Guanghui Lin. His postdoctoral work at ANU under Professors Graham Farquhar and Marilyn C. Ball explores plant water status through isotopic modeling and foliar water uptake dynamics.

Key research interests include quantifying carbon-water interactions in mangroves, developing models to predict plant water strategies, and integrating isotopic signatures into ecological forecasting. His recent work bridges leaf-scale physiology with ecosystem-level processes, contributing to understanding climate resilience in arid and coastal environments.

No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned. Dr. Liang is registered to supervise research students but no advisees are listed. Collaborative projects involve global teams at Yale University, University of Miami, and institutions in China.
