主要的学术业绩如下：
（1）通过对云南下泥盆统徐家冲组的综合研究，发现最古老的具根系古土壤，提供了原始植物在土壤中克隆生长的直接证据；提出克隆生长是早期维管植物作用于地球系统的一种重要机制；揭示出早期植物对陆地环境的显著作用体现在促进土壤形成、增强地貌稳定性以及促进曲流河构型的形成等多个方面（Xue et al. 2016, PNAS封面文章）。http://pkunews.pku.edu.cn/xxfz/2016-08/24/content_294687.htm
（2）对华南晚古生代313种叶片化石的形态学特征进行编码，建立了目前较为完善的多维形态数据集，定量揭示了叶片形态变异度与属种丰富度之间的动态关系，提出古生代叶片形态的宏演化模式（Xue et al. 2015, Earth-Science Reviews）。
http://www.nsfc.gov.cn/publish/portal0/tab38/info48558.htm
（3）报道了华南和其他地区的大量第一手化石材料，系统研究了志留—泥盆纪维管植物50 余属，丰富了研究基础薄弱的、最早期维管植物的大化石记录，揭示了诸多真叶植物、石松纲早期化石代表的形态学和解剖学特征。这些成果体现于50余篇论著中。

（4）基于最简约法和贝叶斯法，厘定了志留—泥盆纪石松植物的系统发育关系；提出早期维管植物的一个新的系统发育框架，重新界定了过去长期存在争议的莱尼蕨纲和工蕨纲；提出维管植物支系在早泥盆世“大爆发”的假说（Hao and Xue 2013, 专著）。
