Karl Müller (bryologist)

Johann Karl (or Carl) August (Friedrich Wilhelm) Müller (16 December 1818 – 9 February 1899) was a German bryologist born in Allstedt.

Prior to 1843 he worked as a pharmacist at several locations in Germany (Kranichfeld, Jever, Detmold and Blankenburg am Harz),[1] followed by studies in botany at the University of Halle (1843 to 1846). In 1843 he became an assistant editor of Botanische Zeitung, and in 1852 was co-founder of the journal Die Natur. During his career he amassed a moss herbarium consisting of 12,000 bryological species.[1] Pyrrhobryum parramattense is one of the many species he described.[2]

gollark: Apparently existing widely-deployed stuff is something like ~20% efficiency, which actually beats plants massively.
gollark: There are limits to how much sunlight you can get per m² anyway.
gollark: I don't think solar/wind is hugely practical for anything but off-grid-y backups because most stuff needs power *all the time*, and you need a ton of expensive batteries.
gollark: Especially compared to the greater dangers of fossil fuel power, like pollution and health issues caused because of it, and in the longer term climate change.
gollark: Even the older stuff isn't even particularly dangerous.
