Einar Naumann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Einar Kristian Leonard Naumann (born August 13, 1891 in Hörby , Malmöhus län ; † September 22, 1934 in Aneboda, Kronobergs län ) was a Swedish pioneer of limnology in Lund. Its official botanical author's abbreviation is " Naumann ".

Life

Naumann was the son of a doctor. From 1909 he studied biology at Lund University . With a doctoral thesis on phytoplankton and pelagial regions in Gyttja and Dy formations, he received his doctorate in 1917. In Lund he was a lecturer in botany and limnology . From 1918 he was an assistant in the plant physiology laboratory. From 1913 in the summer he worked as a biologist in the laboratory for fisheries biology of the Swedish Fisheries Association in Aneboda in Småland , where he built a laboratory in 1927, which from 1929 was subordinate to the Limnological Institute in Lund. Also in 1929 he became professor of limnology in Lund.

Sea classifications such as the trophic system (oligo-, eu- and dystrophic) come from him . He worked closely with Thiedemann, with whom he further developed the classification of lakes in the 1920s. Naumann was the first to detect various phytoplankton layers in seasonal lake sediment deposits. He dealt with phytoplankton in freshwater, algae cultivation, the substance balance of lakes, chemical-limnological issues and biological work techniques such as photography, with fishery biology (fish diseases) and water quality (water extraction and wastewater).

He made friends with August Thienemann , who was a professor at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel . With him he founded the International Society of Limnology in 1922 . In Naumann's honor, it has been awarding the Naumann Medal since 1942, which later became the Naumann Thienemann Medal . Thienemann was President of the Society, Naumann Vice President. In 1932 Naumann was elected to the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina . He was only 43 years old.
