Main contributions

In recent years, he has presided over one NSFC youth fund, three special support projects of Chinese Academy of Sciences and one open laboratory research project; as the main backbone, he has completed one NSFC project, one "Hong Kong Paleontology and stratigraphy" research project and three horizontal connection projects; he has participated in the writing of the book "flora in geological period of China" This achievement won the second prize of natural science of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1997. At present, 24 papers have been published at home and abroad (including one in nature). Up to now, he has made breakthrough scientific research achievements in two aspects. First, the study of early terrestrial plants. Based on a comprehensive study of the strata of Guizhou plume branch, he confirmed that the age of its occurrence was Early Silurian, and thus determined that this plant is the earliest vascular plant in the world. This paper has been published in the British journal Nature; it is suggested that there are many vascular plants in the Early Silurian, and the cryptospores of the late Ordovician have been studied for the first time in China. It is believed that there were terrestrial plants in the late Ordovician. These studies are of great significance to the study of the origin of early terrestrial plants in the world. The second is the detailed study on the late Devonian Carboniferous plants and spores, and the origin and evolution of nodule, Lycopodia and seed fern, which has important paleobotanical significance. In addition, based on the systematic study of the Devonian Carboniferous spore assemblage, he put forward a new viewpoint on the division of the Devonian Carboniferous boundary in China.
