Sławomir Miklaszewski (11 November 1874 in Augustów, Poland – 5 January 1949 in Iłża) was a Polish soil scientist, professor of Warsaw University of Technology, and founder of the Polish pedologic school. Miklaszewski graduated from the University of Warsaw in 1899, where he studied mainly analytical chemistry. For the next two years he held the position of senior assistant to Professor Emil Godlewski senior, at the Chair of Agricultural Chemistry, Jagellonian University in Cracow (Kraków). From 1901, he organized the Laboratory of Soil Science at the Museum of Industry and Agriculture in Warsaw, of which he later became the head. In 1919, the Laboratory became a part of the Warsaw University of Technology, where, as a professor, Miklaszewski worked until the end of his life. In 1946 he was elected honorary president of the Polish Pedological Society. Professor Miklaszewski was very active in the scientific, didactic, organizational and publishing fields. He created the original Polish school of soil science, equilibrating the geologico-substancional intellectual tradition of Albrecht Thaer and Frederic Fallou and the new Russian genetico-typological school of Vasily Dokuchaev. He was describing the soil as the product of oro-hydrographic, climatic, and geologic conditions of the country in which it occurs.…Citește mai mult
