Jie Liang

Jie Liang is a Fellow at The Australian National University's Research School of Biology. Her research focuses on how plants cope with water stress caused by salinity, drought, tidal inundation, extreme temperatures, and foliar water uptake in water-limited ecosystems. She has developed four mathematical models to quantify drought effects on plant growth and development, which are also used to predict plant responses to climate change. Her work includes studying water-carbon processes in coastal mangrove forests and modeling water processes within plant stems using isotopic data. Liang's research has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences, with significant media attention.

Jie Liang is a researcher at the Australian National University with expertise in biophysics, stable isotopes, plant water relations, and climate change. Their work focuses on understanding ecosystem carbon sequestration, water vapor isotopes, and the impacts of climate change on mangrove and coastal wetland ecosystems. Liang's research integrates field measurements, isotopic analysis, and modeling to explore carbon and water fluxes, evapotranspiration, and plant water use efficiency. They have contributed to global databases and studies on the effects of reclamation, restoration, and nitrogen input on coastal vegetation. Their research provides insights into the ecological responses of mangroves and other halophytes to environmental stressors.
