To promote the communication and cooperation between Chinese and overseas young Ecologists, "The 2nd International Young Ecologist Forum" was held on August 1-4, 2011 at Nanjing University, China. On the Form, Nearly 400 students and scholars at home and abroad discussed and communicated on the ecological hot topics in the global change from seven areas: Plant Community Ecology, Physiological Plant Ecology, Belowground Ecology, Aquatic Ecosystem, Biological Invasions, Biodiversity and Regional Eco Security. The 27 oral presentations selected from 95 abstracts by young scholars on the forum widely reported the research scope, topic, scale, and methodology in ecological studies in China under the context of global change. In this paper, we summarized knowledge gained from the presents and abstracts and also gave some suggestions for further improvement of the Forum.
