Education

Dr. Zhi Li built a strong academic foundation in forestry and management, beginning with a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism Management from Xinyang Normal University. His keen interest in natural resource conservation and ecosystem sustainability led him to pursue advanced studies in forestry. He completed a Master’s degree at Jiangxi Agricultural University, focusing on soil and water conservation as well as desertification control. Driven by a desire to deepen his expertise, he earned his Ph.D. from the same institution, where his doctoral dissertation examined the variation of soil microbiological characteristics and their ecological influencing factors in meadow systems. This research provided new insights into the microbial processes that drive soil fertility and forest health. His multidisciplinary educational background, integrating tourism management, forestry, and environmental science, equipped him with the knowledge and tools to address both scientific and practical challenges in ecosystem conservation, land management, and forestry sustainability.

Experience

Dr. Zhi Li’s professional career has been marked by excellence in teaching, research, and institutional service. Since joining Henan Agricultural University, he has served as a Lecturer and later as a Postdoctoral researcher, contributing significantly to both academic development and scientific innovation. Currently, as a Professor and M.S. tutor, he mentors graduate students, guiding them in advanced forestry research. His leadership role as Deputy Director of the Tourism Management Department highlights his ability to integrate ecological research with broader applications in tourism and land use. Beyond teaching, Dr. Li actively contributes to forestry science as Director of the Office of the Key Laboratory of Forest Resources Cultivation, under the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. He also serves as a Standing Committee Member of the Under-Forest Economy Branch of the China Society of Forestry. His career reflects a balance of scholarly research, academic mentorship, and service to the forestry profession.

Awards and Honors

Dr. Zhi Li’s dedication to forestry science and education has earned him recognition through academic, professional, and leadership honors. His membership in the China Society of Forestry underscores his standing in the national academic community, while his appointment as Standing Committee Member of its Under-Forest Economy Branch reflects his expertise in sustainable forestry economics. As Director of the Office of the Key Laboratory of Forest Resources Cultivation, he contributes to shaping national-level research in forest conservation and resource management. His achievements are also reflected in his service as Deputy Director of the Tourism Management Department, a role that recognizes his leadership in combining ecological conservation with applied management fields. These distinctions honor not only his research contributions but also his ability to build bridges between academia, policy, and practical forestry solutions. His accolades represent a career marked by academic distinction, scientific innovation, and professional service at multiple levels.

Research Focus

Dr. Zhi Li’s research focuses on the ecological and environmental sustainability of forest ecosystems, with an emphasis on soil, plant nutrition, and erosion control. He is particularly interested in forestland nutrition management and the mechanisms that regulate soil fertility and forest productivity. His work explores the interactions between soil microbiology, plant growth, and ecological restoration in degraded or erosive forestlands. By studying soil microbiological variations and their influencing factors, he contributes valuable knowledge to improving soil health and resilience in forestry systems. Another key area of his research involves eco-engineering approaches, which integrate biological, ecological, and engineering principles to restore degraded landscapes and promote long-term ecological balance. His investigations extend to forest plant nutrition, resource conservation, and land reconstruction strategies. Collectively, his research supports sustainable forestry practices, informs policy decisions, and advances the development of environmentally responsible methods for managing forest resources in diverse ecosystems.
