James Allen is a Professor in the School of Forestry at Northern Arizona University. His research focuses on urban food forests, agroforestry systems, mangrove ecosystems, and Pacific Island environmental dynamics. He has contributed to understanding natural and anthropogenic disturbances in mangroves, wetland restoration, and sustainable land-use practices in arid regions.

Key research areas include:

• Urban agriculture and community agroforestry
• Mangrove ecology and coastal resilience
• Wetland restoration and hydrology
• Climate change impacts on ecosystems
• Education initiatives in natural resources management

His work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to environmental conservation, integrating traditional practices with modern ecological management. Recent studies highlight the potential of agroforestry in dry regions and the ecological importance of high-elevation wet meadows in Arizona.
