Research:
Prof. Renfei Chen is interested in several topics in theoretical ecology and population biology. With analytical and simulation methods, as well as empirical tests, they focus on the dynamics of both plant and animal populations, especially fish in the marine ecosystem. Their research also involves studying resource allocation patterns, including the allocation strategy between utilizing and protecting natural resources, mainly fish, and the allocation strategy among different plant organ parts, mainly plant leaf, stem, and root. Prof. Chen investigates how these allocation patterns are influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors, as well as how they vary in transient time scales and in spatially heterogeneous environments.

Prof. Renfei Chen is actively involved in editorial and review work in the field of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Since 2022, he has been serving on the Editorial Board of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Additionally, since 2023, he has been a member of the Young Editorial Board for the Journal of Plant Ecology. Prof. Chen has also contributed to the scholarly community through his review work for various journals, including Communications Biology, Ecological Modelling, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Journal of Plant Ecology, ICES Journal of Marine Science, Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, and Polish Journal of Ecology. In recognition of his contributions, Prof. Chen was honored with the Top Ten Scientific and Technological Advances in Ecological and Environmental Fields in China in April 2022, where he ranked 7th out of 9.
