The 45-year-old professor of Peking University became the youngest new academician this year. Why can this professor be named an academician?

The 45-year-old professor's name is Park Shilong. Because of his special contribution in the field of carbon cycle, he was named an academician.

Academician Park Shilong worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the French climatic and environmental research Laboratory. After returning to China, he devoted himself to studying the spatio-temporal changes and mechanism analysis of carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystem of China. His papers in this field have become the basis of citation in the industry. Quoted more than 3 thousand times. It can be said that it is a shoulder in the field of carbon cycle, so it became an academician. Many friends may not have heard of the scientific research on the temporal and spatial changes and mechanism analysis of carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems. The following explains the importance of this subject from three angles.

1. Studying carbon cycle can control the emission of carbon dioxide. The so-called carbon cycle includes two aspects: carbon collection and carbon branch. Carbon harvesting includes the absorption of carbon dioxide by plants, and carbon dioxide is converted into usable carbon from other ways, such as various physical or chemical ways. This is carbon harvesting. Carbon branching is the process of using carbon resources and converting carbon into carbon dioxide. Therefore, carbon revenue and carbon expenditure are also collectively referred to as carbon budget.

2. Studying the carbon cycle can provide a basis for the national policy: Park Shilong can collect data accurately through various methods, so as to analyze the carbon budget more accurately. From the situation of carbon budget, this paper puts forward solutions and improvement methods to the country's environmental problems, and provides a basis for the country's major policies.

3. Studying the carbon cycle can meet the Kyoto Protocol more reasonably: the so-called Kyoto Protocol is an agreement of relevant countries to reduce carbon emissions. However, without carbon emissions, the economy cannot develop, and with more carbon emissions, it cannot meet the Kyoto Protocol. Therefore, Park Shilong's research on carbon cycle can optimize the way of carbon emission. To achieve the balance of carbon cycle, we can give consideration to economic development while meeting the Kyoto Protocol. From the above, it can be seen that the research of Academician Park Shilong is very important, which is related to economic development and ecological environment, and Park Shilong is one of the best and deserves to be elected as an academician.
