Mbdfar:


'''Jan-Peter Frahm''' (February 14, 1945&nbsp;– February 5, 2014) was a German botanist dedicated to the study of [[Bryology|mosses]]. His official botanical author abbreviation is <span class="Person">J.-P. Frahm</span>.

==Career==
Frahm studied biology and geography at the [[University of Hamburg]] and the [[University of Kiel]], graduating [[magna cum laude]] in 1972. He then worked at the [[University of Duisburg]], where he was appointed professor in 1981. Research stays at foreign institutes (eg. Helsinki, Paris, Stockholm, Chicago) and a visiting professorship at the [[University of Alberta]] in 1989 followed. He moved from Duisburg to the [[University of Bonn]] in 1994 .<ref name="gest">Isabelle Franzen-Reuter: ''Zum Tod von Prof. Dr. Jan-Peter Frahm''. In: ''[[Gefahrstoffe – Reinhaltung der Luft]].'' Bd.&nbsp;74, Nr.&nbsp;4, 2014, S.&nbsp;118, .</ref>

He was honored in 1995 with the Richard Spruce Award by the International Association of Bryologists for excellence in bryology. He was also awarded by the [[University of Helsinki]]. In recognition of his achievements, new species such as ''[[Sphagnum frahmii]]'', ''[[Porotrichum frahmii]]'', ''[[Cololejeunea frahmii]]'', ''[[Pylaisiella frahmii]]'' and ''[[Porothamnium frahmii]]'' were named after him. The genus ''[[Frahmiella]]'' in the family [[Brachytheciaceae]] also bears his name. In 2014, he became the namesake of the bryological online journal ''Frahmia''.<ref>[http://www.frahmia.de/ ''Frahmia - A Bryological Online Journal.'']</ref>

Frahm conducted research on numerous topics of bryology and published more than 650 publications.<ref name="gest" /> Within his moss research, he was concerned with [[bioindicator|bioindication]]. Frahm noted that the improved air quality cities has led to an increased number of [[lichen]] species colonizing urban areas. He also demonstrated that the release of ammonia by auto-catalysts causes nitrogen-loving lichens and mosses and nitrogen-emitting plants to settle along roads.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2OiZ7EQ ''Moose reduzieren die Feinstaubbelastung.''] Pressemitteilung der [[Universität Bonn]], [[Informationsdienst Wissenschaft]], 2.&nbsp;August 2007.</ref>
