Prof. Chu Jianmin is primarily involved in the research of biodiversity in forest and grassland ecosystems, desertification prevention and control, ecological restoration of difficult sites, ecosystem monitoring and evaluation, as well as the establishment of ecological shelterbelts. With more than 10 funding sources from national, provincial and ministerial level projects, he has conduct breeding programs for stress-resistant forest and grass resources, and established a national forest germplasm resource bank for stress-resistant tree species in the northern China, which provides excellent forest and grass resources for the ecological management of arid & saline-alkali difficult sites and supports the construction of shelterbelts. Furthermore, Prof. Chu has conducted researches on key technologies in soil improvement and ecological afforestation, and established a national long-term scientific research base for ecological restoration in the northern coastal zone, which greatly enhances capacities in ecological restoration, ecosystem evaluation, and disaster prevention & reduction within the region. Moreover, based on China's current situation regarding sandy vegetation resources, he successfully proposed a restoration and reconstruction technology of degraded grassland, providing scientific and technological support for the restoration of degraded grassland in arid and semi-arid areas of China.
Prof. Chu Jianmin's contributions include over 50 published research papers along with three formulated industry standards and six books authored by him. His achievements have been recognized through various awards including the China Forestry Youth Science & Technology Award; third prize of Gansu Science & Technology Progress Award; second prize of Liang Xi Forestry Science & Technology Progress Award.
Prof. Chu Jianmin currently serves as a member of the National Technical Committee 365 on Desert Prevention and Control under the Standardization Administration of China, deputy director of the Saline-alkali Land Management Professional Committee within the Chinese Society of Desertification Control and Sand Industry, and deputy director of the Saline-alkali Land Branch affiliated with the Chinese Forestry Society. He is recognized as a prominent figure in forestry and grassland science and technology innovation by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, being nominated as a provincial and ministerial candidate for "hundreds of talents".
