Anders Sandøe Ørsted (botanist)

Anders Sandoe Oersted [ œrsdɛð ] ( born June 21, 1816 in Rudkøbing, † September 3, 1872 in Copenhagen) was a Danish botanist and zoologist. Its official botanical author abbreviation is " Oerst. ".

Ørsted was a student in 1835 and 1844 Masters. In 1842 he published his book "Observations on the distribution of vegetation in the Øresund ." From 1845 to 1848 he traveled to Central America and the West Indies, and brought a large collection not previously seen before plants to take home. At the University of Copenhagen, he was a lecturer in 1858 and 1862 Professor of Botany. Most of his work was to determine the plants collected by him. He discovered almost simultaneously with Anton de Bary the landlord change of parasitic fungi living.

His records pertaining to the marine algae of the West Indies, which formed the staple food for marine animals, in his opinion, were little noticed at the time. However, they formed the basis for subsequent plankton research.
