==Life==
Watt was born on an Aberdeenshire farm and went to school at Turriff Secondary School and Robert Gordon's College, Aberdeen. He graduated as M.A. and B.Sc. (in agricultural science) from the University of Aberdeen in 1913.〔Grieg-Smith, P. (1982) A.S. Watt, F.R.S.: A biographical note. Pp. 9-10 in Newman, E.I., ''The plant community as a working mechanism''. Special publication series of the British Ecological Society No. 1; Blackwell Scientific Publ., Oxford.〕 He then went to University of Cambridge to work on beech forest under Arthur Tansley and obtained a M.S. in 1919 (after interruption by military service 1916-1918). He was appointed lecturer of forest botany and forest zoology at the University of Aberdeen. He continued his research on southern English beech forest in vacations and obtained a PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1924. In 1929, he became lecturer of forestry at this university and, when this undergraduate subject was given up, lecturer of forest botany – “a title which scarcely reflected his wide interest in and influence on plant ecology”.〔 He retired from university in 1959, but continued work – publishing in the Journal of Ecology as late as 1982, 63 years after his first publication in this journal. He accepted to be visiting lecturer at the University of Colorado in 1963 and visiting professor at the University of Khartoum in 1965. In 1970, he co-organized a symposium science in nature conservation.〔Duffey, E. & A.S. Watt (1971) The scientific management of animal and plant communities for conservation. The 11th symposium of The British Ecological Society, University of East Anglia, Norwich, 7–9 July 1970. Blackwell Scientific Publ., Oxford.〕
He was president of the British Ecological Society 1946-1947.
Fellow of the Royal Society since 1957.〔 He was awarded the Linnean Medal of the Linnean Society in 1975.
