Resources, Environment and Ecology

Abstract

With the rapid economic development, China faces increasing pressure on resources and environment. Traditional approaches such as experimental analysis, field monitoring and mathematical simulation are not enough to study complex environmental and ecological problems. The integration of multidisciplinary knowledge, large high-tech scientific facilities and large research facilities will provide an important means to break through research bottlenecks in solving complex ecological problems. It can be expected that, in the next 50 years, large scientific facilities and large research infrastructures will be crucial to make breakthroughs in the fields of ecology and environmental science.
