Welcome
Urban landscapes are becoming less dense and dominated by residential areas in developing and wealthy nations. These landscapes are one of the fastest growing land cover types globally. These systems alter patterns of biodiversity through habitat fragmentation and the creation of designed ecosystems such as ornamental gardens, lawns, yards, and stormwater ponds. Our lab studies the ecology of these expanding ecosystems. Within this context, we are interested in many topics, including sustainability, spatial ecology, community- and ecosystem-level interactions, biological invasions, ecosystem services, and ecological restoration. Our work is interdisciplinary, applied, and involves collaborations with non-academic, science end users. |

Lab Goals:
1) Mitigate the negative impacts of expanding residential landscapes
2) Inform the design, construction, and management of urban and residential landscapes that provide ecological value and that benefit both people and nature
