About the Author
Yiqi Luo is Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor at Cornell University, USA. He obtained his PhD degree from the University of California, Davis in 1991 and did postdoctoral research at UCLA and Stanford University from 1991 to 1994, before he worked at the Desert Research Institute as Assistant and Associate Research Professor from 1994 to 1998, the University of Oklahoma as Associate, Full, and George Lynn Cross Professor from 1999 to 2017, and Northern Arizona University as Full and Regents Professor. Professor Luo has studied land carbon cycling using empirical and modeling approaches for more than 30 years. His research program has been focused on addressing two key issues: (1) how global change alters the structure and functions of terrestrial ecosystems, and (2) how terrestrial ecosystems regulate climate change. To address these issues, Dr. Luo's laboratory has conducted field global change experiments; developed terrestrial ecosystem models; synthesized extensive data sets using meta-analysis methods; integrated data and models with data assimilation techniques; and carried out theoretical and computational analysis. Particularly, his research team has recently developed a matrix approach to land carbon cycle modeling; applied data assimilation techniques to ecological research; and pioneered in ecological forecasting. Previously he has published two books, 30 book chapters, and more than 500 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He was a Highly Cited Researcher recognized by the Web of Science Group, Clarivate Analytics in 2018-2022. He was elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2013; the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in 2016; and the Ecological Society of America (ESA) in 2018. This book, Land Carbon Cycle Modeling: Matrix Approach, Data Assimilation, Ecological Forecasting, & Machine Learning 2e, evolved from an international training course, New Advances in Land Carbon Cycle Modeling. The training course has been held six times from 2018 to 2023. The materials in the book have been partly or fully used by approximately 600 attendees of the training course.Benjamin Smith is a Professor of Ecosystem Science, based in Sydney, Australia, where he is Research Director of Western Sydney University's Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment, a leading center for global change ecosystem research and innovation. Following undergraduate studies in biology at the University of Tasmania, Australia, Ben relocated to Dunedin, New Zealand, where he obtained his PhD from the University of Otago in 1996. Following postdoctoral posts in Sweden and Germany, he obtained tenure at Lund University in Sweden, transitioning to his current role at Western Sydney University in 2018. Benjamin Smith is known as a pioneer in the dynamic global vegetation modeling field. The original developer of the widely used LPJ-GUESS ecosystem model, he continues to lead a multi-institutional consortium of developers serving its international user community. As a Visiting Scientist with CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere Flagship, he contributed to the implementation of vegetation demography, disturbance, and wildfire dynamics in the Australian Community Land Surface Model, CABLE. He is interested in the role of the biosphere in regional and global climate dynamics, using earth system models to examine feedback of ecosystems and land surface changes to the atmosphere and climate. He led the development of the first published regional earth system model, RCA-GUESS, and is active in the pan European consortium developing the global EC-EARTH ESM. An author of several influential papers in the global change modeling and assessment fields, Ben was recognized in the Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher list from 2019-2021.
