TAO Fulu is a professor and research team head in Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, and University of Chinese Academy of Science. His research interests include agro-ecosystem sustainable development, climate smart agriculture, food-water-energy nexus, and responses of ecosystem processes and services to global environmental change.

He has developed several agricultural systems models, including a China Agricultural System Soil–Water Balance-model (CASswb), the MCWLA (a process-based general Model to capture the Crop–Weather relationship over a Large Area) family crop models, a super-ensemble-based probabilistic projection system (SuperEPPS). He has authored more than 240 scientific papers which have been cited by about 10000 times in the scientific journals (google scholar: 2019.12.31) and by about 30 times in the IPCC reports. He is an editor board member of several international journals including Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, European Journal of Agronomy, Journal of Meteorological Research, and Journal of Geographical Sciences; associate editor of Food Security, and Climate Research.
