Botanist
Botany, also called , plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology. A botanist, plant scientist or phytologist is a scientist who specialises in this field. The term "botany" comes from the Ancient Greek word (''botanē'') meaning "pasture", " herbs" "grass", or " fodder"; is in turn derived from (), "to feed" or "to graze". Traditionally, botany has also included the study of fungi and algae by mycologists and phycologists respectively, with the study of these three groups of organisms remaining within the sphere of interest of the International Botanical Congress. Nowadays, botanists (in the strict sense) study approximately 410,000 species of land plants of which some 391,000 species are vascular plants (including approximately 369,000 species of flowering plants), and approximately 20,000 are bryophytes. Botany originated in prehistory as herbalism with the efforts of early humans to identify – and later cultivate – edible, med ...

Phycology
Phycology () is the scientific study of algae. Also known as algology, phycology is a branch of life science. Algae are important as primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. Most algae are eukaryotic, photosynthetic organisms that live in a wet environment. They are distinguished from the higher plants by a lack of true roots, stems or leaves. They do not produce flowers. Many species are single-celled and microscopic (including phytoplankton and other microalgae); many others are multicellular to one degree or another, some of these growing to large size (for example, seaweeds such as kelp and ''Sargassum''). Phycology includes the study of prokaryotic forms known as blue-green algae or cyanobacteria. A number of microscopic algae also occur as symbionts in lichens. Phycologists typically focus on either freshwater or ocean algae, and further within those areas, either diatoms or soft algae. History of phycology While both the ancient Greeks and Romans knew of algae, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Botaniska Notiser
''Botaniska Notiser'' was a Swedish scientific periodical concerning botany, issued in Lund, by Societate botanica Lundensi or unds Botaniska Förening It was published from 1839 to 1980, when it fused with ''Botanisk Tidsskrift'', '' Friesia'' and '' Norwegian Journal of Botany'' to form the ''Nordic Journal of Botany''. In 2001, the journal reappeared as a regional journal for botany in south Sweden. Monographs were published in a parallel series, ''Botaniska Notiser Supplement'' (1947-1954). This series was fused in 1980 with '' Dansk Botanisk Arkiv'' under the name '' Opera Botanica'', which since then has been the monograph series of the ''Nordic Journal of Botany''.
