The Ecological Research Laboratory, chaired by Professor Zheng Rongliang, is located in the Department of Biology and, as its name implies, is responsible for research and advanced training in topics related to the preservation and use of natural resources. Scholars in the Ecological Research Laboratory have conducted research on alpine and subalpine meadows; steppe and desert grasslands, including grassland succession, particularly secondary succession of abandoned agricultural fields and overgrazed grasslands in southwest Gansu; degradation of artificial grasslands in southwest Gansu; and degradation of desert areas in the FIexi Corridor.
