Major achievements:
Zheng has made pioneering research in the field of bird ecology and behavior in China, especially in the study of ecological adaptation mechanism and life history strategy of endemic and endangered pheasants. The habitat selection, domain, activity area and activity characteristics of pheasant were analyzed by radio telemetry and 3S technology for the first time.
Zheng has conducted a long-term study on the impact of habitat fragmentation and human activities, which provides a scientific basis for the protection of endangered species. After more than ten years of domestication and breeding research, the problems of survival, fertilization and reproduction have been overcome, and the pheasant native to subtropical mountainous areas has been built into a self-sustaining artificial population in Beijing.
