Biography

Dr. Zheng-Gang Guo is currently working as Professor at College of Pastoral Agricultural Science and Technology Lanzhou University, China. He obtained his Ph.D. in Physical Geography from Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. In past he worked as Lecturer, Associate Lecturer and Associate Professor at Lanzhou University. His area of research includes Major in Restoration of Grassland Degradation, Focusing on Regulating the Small Mammal Density by Comprehensive Measurements, and Propose that the Rat Trouble will be Controlled by Improving its Habitats, which perfect the long-held belief that the Poison has been widely used, Quantify the Appropriate Population Density of Plateau Pika to Propose the Suggestions of Rodent Control of the Natural Grassland, by Investigating the Plant and Soil Nutrients Stoichiometry and Plant Community that Correlate with Changes of available Burrow Densities. He has published 20 research papers in journals as author/co-author.
