Faculty Member, Integrative Biology

About
I am interested in how biogeochemical cycles in soil and water (mainly those of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus) interact with ecological communities, land use, and hydrology. Research in my lab presently studies these relationships in seasonally inundated freshwater wetlands and intertidal mangrove forests and salt marshes, all systems at a dynamic land-water interface. Our scales of interest range from distinct landscape elements (e.g., single wetlands) to the regional matrix in which they are set. We address basic ecological questions at the heart of applied problems, such as water management in urban environments, and nutrient retention in coastal habitats. We collaborate with hydrogeologists, remote sensing experts, social scientists, and natural resource managers. Please visit our lab website at http://lewislab.org.
