معرفی
Azim U. Mallik is a Professor and Chair in the Department of Biology at Lakehead University, specializing in Plant Ecology, Disturbance Ecology, and Riparian Ecology. His research focuses on ecosystem responses to disturbances such as fire and logging, including plant-microbe interactions and successional pathways. He holds a PhD from the University of Aberdeen, UK, and academic qualifications from Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Education:
HBSc and MSc from Dhaka, Bangladesh; PhD from the University of Aberdeen, UK.
Research Interests:
Dr. Mallik investigates progressive/retrogressive succession, plant-soil feedbacks, and the structural stability of riparian buffers. His work explores how disturbances shape ecosystem processes and biodiversity, with a focus on boreal and tropical ecosystems. Key themes include allelopathy, microbial interactions, and alternate stable states in managed forests.
Publications Trends:
His recent work spans hydrological modeling in China, plant-microbe interactions, and disturbance impacts on biodiversity. Collaborations emphasize global ecosystems, including tropical karst forests and boreal riparian zones.
Advising & Grants:
He has advised students including P. St. Martin and C. St. James. His research involves interdisciplinary projects funded by grants exploring ecosystem resilience and restoration.
Labs & Collaborations:
Collaborations include institutions in China, Canada, and the UK, reflecting his global focus on ecological processes and conservation strategies.
