Andrew H. Baldwin

Dr. Andrew H. Baldwin is a Professor and Extension Specialist in the Department of Environmental Science and Technology at the University of Maryland, College Park. With expertise in tidal and inland wetland ecology, restoration, and plant ecology, he bridges academic research with practical wetland conservation applications.

• Ph.D., Botany, Louisiana State University (1996)
• B.S., Biology, Tufts University (1983)
• B.S., Engineering (Environmental Focus), Tufts University (1983)

His research focuses on understanding plant regeneration dynamics, carbon and nitrogen cycling, invasive species impacts (notably Phragmites australis), and global change effects in wetland ecosystems. This work directly informs strategies to enhance wetland restoration outcomes.

Recent publications highlight his contributions to tidal wetland carbon dynamics, microbial community responses to restoration, and Phragmites invasion mechanisms across global change scenarios. These studies span disciplines including wetland ecology, biogeochemistry, and climate science.

• Fellow, Society of Wetland Scientists (2019)
• President, Society of Wetland Scientists (2009-2010)
• Professional Wetland Scientist Certification (PWS No. 2997)

Dr. Baldwin teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in wetland ecology and restoration, mentors students at all academic levels, and serves as a reviewer for over 30 journals and agencies. No specific lab or team information was provided in the available texts.
