Shih-Chieh Chang is an ecosystem ecologist with his research focus on carbon fluxes of forest ecosystems. He and his colleagues established the long-term ecosystem research site - the Chi-Lan Mountain (CLM) site - in 2002 and since then work on that montane cloud forest. The early works on that site were nutrient cycling, fog meteorology, and fog deposition. Certainly the fog-related studies have been continued to today, e.g. the distribution map of cloud forest has been published recently through the collaboratory work with Jörg Bendix's team of the University of Marburg, Germany. Shih-Chieh Chang's major efforts on carbon budget study were the development of chamber technique for continuous measurements in the field.

Gissellie Pinelo, a graduate student from Belize, has a Bachelor's degree in Biological and Environmental Science and a minor in Anthropology. Her unwavering dedication to environmental preservation is reflected in her wide professional history, which includes marketing, biodiversity conservation, and active participation with the Belize National Biodiversity Office. Gissellie's current academic focus is advanced forest ecosystem modelling, primarily utilizing the BIOME-BGC model. Her research focuses on the potential impacts of future climate change scenarios on forest ecosystems, with a specific focus on Taiwan's Danong Dafu Forest Park. Through her work, she contributes valuable insights to this critical ecological context.
