Timothy Bowles

Timothy Bowles is an Associate Professor at UC Berkeley studying biologically-based farming systems. His Agroecology Lab investigates how diversified agricultural practices enhance soil health, resource efficiency, and climate resilience.

Research focuses on:

• Plant-soil-microbe interactions
• Biogeochemical cycling in working landscapes
• Adaptive management strategies

Current projects include long-term experiments on crop rotation complexity and cross-border collaborations on dry farming systems. Work emphasizes practical applications for transitioning from input-intensive to ecologically-based agriculture.
