报告人简介：

Prof. SY Lee has been researching on the ecology of mangrove ecosystems for more than 20 years. He has an international reputation in mangrove and estuarine ecosystem ecology through my research on estuarine, especially mangrove, function and services in the last 25 years after his examination of the ‘outwelling’ concept (Lee 1995, Hydrobiologia 295:203-212, cited 230 times – Google Scholar) in mangroves initiated a shift of one of the most important paradigms in mangrove trophic ecology. His recent work is concentrated on the role of key animals such as grapsid crabs in mangrove ecosystem function and services such as trophodynamics (focusing on poorly known but potentially important trophic linkages), or their nursery/coastal protection/carbon sequestration roles. He has published a career total of >150 refereed publications to date, with a current h-index of 30/41 (ISI Web of Science/Google Scholar). His average number of citations per year is consistently >250 (ISI) in the past few years for a relatively small field. Currently, his areas of expertise cover: (1) Estuarine ecology and management; (2) Ecosystem services and function of coastal wetlands especially mangroves and salt marshes; (3) Tropical marine biology (crustaceans, fish) and aquaculture; (4) Application of chemical tracers (stable isotopes, lipid biomarkers) to trophic ecology; (5) Impact of urbanisation including pollution on coastal ecosystem function; and (6) Novel analytical and measurement techniques for studying coastal ecosystem function.
