Murray Fife Buell (October 5, 1905 – July 3, 1975) was an American ecologist and palynologist. ==Personal life== Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Buell earned a B.S. at Cornell University in 1930. He then attended the University of Minnesota where he earned a M.A. in 1934 and a Ph.D. in 1935. After completing his Ph.D., Buell's studies with W.S. Cooper stimulated his interest in plant ecology. During graduate school, Buell married Helen Foot (Ph. D., Algology, U. Minn.); the Buells raised two children. Helen was his field companion as well as his wife, and the two worked as a team in research and publication of several papers.〔http://www.palynology.org/history/buell.html Biographical Sketch, AASP website〕 Buell began his professional career at North Carolina State University in 1935, where he started his research on paleoecology of bogs and plant succession. From 1947 until his retirement in 1971, Buell taught at Rutgers University, where he became Professor of Botany and served as Director of the William Hutcheson Forest. As early as 1955, he and his students studied ecology in relation to land-use management and human impacts, especially in parklands.〔http://www.esa.org/history/obits/Buell_MF.pdf Resolution of Respect, ESA website〕 In 1962, he served as President of the Ecological Society of America (ESA), and was given the Eminent Ecologist Award by the Society in 1970. The Murray F. Buell Award was established by ESA in 1977.〔http://www.esa.org/history/awards.php Eminent Ecologist Award, ESA website〕 Buell died July 3, 1975, while on a field trip to the New Jersey Pine Barrens.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Murray Fife Buell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
