Main work

Prof. Liu Xianzhao mainly engaged in the research and promotion of theories and technologies related to Multifunction management of forest plantation and close to nature forest management. He presided/hosted over 20 key Technical consulting projects, including development topics and research projects for the 13th and 14th Five-Year Plans, scientific research projects such as the National natural science foundation of China and the Beijing natural science foundation, the construction of reserve forest in Xiong'an New Area, the improvement of forest quality in the North and South Mountains of Xi'ning, as well as the precise improvement of forest quality in the mountainous areas of Beijing. He published more than 50 scientific and technological papers and 5 monographs. He participated in the formulation of 7 national, industrial and local standards, including technical regulations for the restoration of degraded forest, guidelines for sustainable management of reserve forest, and technical regulations for the renovation of low function forest. Authorized 5 patents, identified 3 scientific and technological achievements. He won several awards, including the Liang'xi Forestry Science and Technology Award and the Cooperation Award of the Hebei Agricultural Technology Promotion Award.
