Ian Dodd

华南农业大学中英环境科学研究中心特聘教授。兰卡斯特大学可持续农业教授，澳大利亚人，习惯了干旱的生活环境，因此关注干旱对植物的影响，研究干旱对植物根系的影响机制。研究已被应用于提高作物用水效率，以保证在气候变化的环境下生产粮食。Ian的主要职责是研究可持续农业与食品安全。他发表的论文70多篇中许多都是关于“根际交替灌溉”的灌溉技术。目前与资源环境学院合作开展作物水肥高效吸收利用的根系调控机理研究。合作指导博士生PurificaciónAndrea Martínez Melgarejo

Ian Dodd as anAustralian, is used to droughts, and regularly applies them to plants “in hiscare”, to understand the fundamental mechanisms by which plant root systemscommunicate the effects of drought to the shoot. This research has been appliedto improve crop water use efficiency (“crop per drop”) in aiming to guaranteefood production within a changing climate. Ian’s primary responsibility in thedepartment is being Director of Study of the MSc Sustainable Agriculture &Food Security. His published work includes over 70 refereed journal papers,many on the irrigation technique known as “partial rootzone drying” which wasderived from a laboratory experiment originally conducted at Lancaster.
