Ning Ding
I am interested in stream ecology, land-use influence on organisms and effects of spatial scale on environmental research. Among my strengths is expertise in basics of species traits and functional diversity of macroinvertebrate. I am also skilled in statistical analysis, GIS analysis of large datasets (e.g., land-use, watershed delineation), and R program language. My doctoral research program focused on exploring the relationships among environmental variables at different spatial scales and the variation of traits and functional diversity of macroinvertebrate assemblages through the use of statistical models (e.g., RLQ and Fourth-corner).
