Christen Christensen Raunkiær (29 March 1860 – 11 March 1938) was a Danish botanist, who was a pioneer of plant ecology.He is mainly remembered for his scheme of plant strategies to survive an unfavourable season ("life forms") and his demonstration that the relative abundance of strategies in floras largely corresponded to the Earth's climatic zones.
It covers environmental sciences, botany, earth sciences, physical geography, ecology, and the soil sciences of relevance to agriculture. Before the 1992 split into section B (soil and plant science) and section A (animal science), the journal was published by the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry from 1950 to 1955. It was then ...
Soil quality reflects how well a soil performs the functions of maintaining biodiversity and productivity, partitioning water and solute flow, filtering and buffering, nutrient cycling, and providing support for plants and other structures. Soil management has a major impact on soil quality. Soil quality relates to soil functions. Unlike water ...
His collections from Lagoa Santa, 2600 plant species, of which some 370 turned out to be new to science, [1] were treated in a monumental 40-volume and 1400-page work, Symbolæ ad Floram Brasiliæ centralis cognoscendam. For this work, Warming farmed out plant families to more than fifty plant taxonomists, mainly in Europe.
The history of edaphology is not simple, as the two main alternative terms for soil science—pedology and edaphology—were initially poorly distinguished. [10] Friedrich Albert Fallou originally conceived pedology in the 19th century as a fundamental science separate from the applied science of agrology, [11] a predecessor term for edaphology, [12] a distinction retained in the current ...
The Faculty of Science (Danish: Det Natur- og Biovidenskabelige Fakultet) at the University of Copenhagen houses 12 departments, including the Natural History Museum of Denmark. [3] The faculty also encompasses several national and international research centres, and has a number of field stations in Denmark and Greenland , among them the ...
The Centre for the Philosophy of Nature and Science Studies (Danish: Center for Naturfilosofi og Videnskabsstudier, abbr. CNV) involves a small group of scientists, philosophers of science, and researchers at the University of Copenhagen. It engages in the interdisciplinary field denominated as the philosophy of nature and science studies ...
