Congyan Wang

Congyan Wang PhD

Editorial Member

School of Environment and Safety Engineering,

Department of Plant Ecology

Dr. Congyan Wang is a Professor and Ph.D. Supervisor at the School of Environment and Safety Engineering, Jiangsu University, China. He earned his Doctorate in Biology from Nanjing University, specializing in Invasion Biology. His research focuses on the ecological effects, environmental risks, and mechanistic understanding of invasive plant species. His work integrates plant ecology, community dynamics, and plant–soil–microbe interactions to explore how invasive species establish, compete, and impact biodiversity.

Dr. Wang has made several theoretical contributions to invasion ecology, including the development of indices such as the invasion intensity index, relative invasiveness index, community invasibility index, and the “seesaw theory” to explain competitive plant growth strategies in invasive contexts. He has published extensively in high-impact journals such as Science of the Total Environment, Plant Diversity, and Plants.

He currently serves on multiple editorial boards, including mSystems, Horticulturae, Journal of Plant Ecology, iMeta, Journal of Forestry Research, and Microorganisms. He is also the Lead Guest Editor of several special issues focusing on invasive plant ecology in journals like Plants, Microorganisms, Forests, and Sustainability.

With a strong interdisciplinary background, Dr. Wang contributes significantly to the advancement of plant invasion science, offering both conceptual frameworks and practical risk assessment tools for ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation.
