Prof. Yu Haiyan has devoted herself to the research of energy plants and the development and utilization of forestry new technology and products. She was in charge of 8 research projects or sub-projects, like science and technology support programme and sub-programme, 863 sub-project, forestry popularization project, 948 project and so on. In the field of energy plants' new germplasm enhancement and utilization, she has clarified the relationship between woody plants' oil properties and the processing characters, and established a fast and easy-handling new predictive model for woody biodiesel species, which has won the best paper award and special contribution award of Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology. She has unveiled the rule of woody energy plants' geographical provenances variation and the accumulation of seed oil content, established a comprehensive characters evaluation system, and selected 12 superior provenances for yellowhorn, apricot and pistacia chinensis bunge and 21 new species of yellowhorn. She has brought forth new ideas in the technology and techniques in yellowhorn species selection and mating, the apricot low yielding forest classification management and so on. In the field of the innovation and popularization of forestry technology and products, she has put forward the creative technology of high quality container seedling reproduction, and promoted the utilization of more than 10 products of ABT series and GGR series, which has increased the vitality by 25% and forestry biomass growth by 16.3% to 25.5% in the arid and mountainous regions. She has contributed a lots in the Chinese social forestry project and won the second prize of the State Science and Technology Awards.
