Carl Troll

Carl Troll was a renowned German-American geographer and biogeographer, best known for his work in the mid-20th century. He significantly advanced the study of ecosystems and the interaction between climate, vegetation, and landforms. Troll introduced the concept of "landscape ecology," emphasizing the importance of spatial relationships in nature. His research focused on the effects of altitude and climate on vegetation distribution, particularly in mountainous regions. Troll's contributions laid the groundwork for modern environmental science and helped shape our understanding of ecological patterns and processes in diverse landscapes.
