The eminent Hungarian botanist and bryologist Botany of the Teachers’ Training College in Eger
Professor Tamás Pócs was born in Budapest on 6 in 1963. During his 18 years at that post, Professor

of the Hungarian Botanical Society. In 1951 he one of Central Europe's biggest herbaria, holding

Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Vácrátót.
In 1951 he applied to study biology and chem-
istry at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. In his
second year of studies he entered a special botanical
science course under Professor Rezső Soó, who in-
vited Tamás to work in his Botany Department after
graduation in January 1956. However, he chose
the Herbarium of the Natural History Museum in
Budapest as his place of work, and donated his
plant collection consisting of 8,000 specimens to
the Herbarium upon taking the job there.
He published his first paper in 1954, and co-
wrote the manuscript of his first book in 1955,
both while still a student. From 1955 on he ex-
plored botanically interesting areas of Transylvania
and the southern Carpathians. He investigated the
vegetation of western Hungary and, together with
other young botanists, made vegetation maps of
the area which were published as the book Veg-
etationsstudien in Őrség in 1958. In 1959 he re-
ceived his doctoral degree summa cum laude, and
in 1967 achieved the title Candidate of Sciences
(CSc), now PhD.
Keenly interested in educating others, he ap-
plied for the post of Head of the Department of fig. 1. Tamás Pócs, 1978. Photo J. Váňa.

Many Hungarian and foreign scientists visit the
herbarium to examine its materials. Another im-
portant activity of the herbarium is exchange of
specimens; the collection includes a wealth of
specimens sent from places never visited by any
Hungarian bryologists. The Department of Botany
(now divided into the Department of Botany and
the Department of Plant Physiology) employs the
latest research methods to study the taxonomy,
ecology and physiology of cryptogamic plants.
Professor Pócs interest turned to tropical botany
early in his career. He went on an expedition to
Vietnam lasting a month and a half in 1963, fol-
lowed by a three-month expedition in 1965–1966.
The richness and variety of tropical vegetation
fascinated him and determined his further lines of
research. His work in Vietnam added thousands of
specimens to a number of Hungarian and foreign
plant and animal collections.
These first tropical expeditions were followed
by many other trips. His studies in Africa have
occupied the longest period of his work. He has

join expeditions to Cuba and to Tanzania where
he took part in the Rain Forest Program within
the framework of Swedish-Hungarian-Tanzanian
cooperation.
In 1985 he was invited to the Department of
Forest Biology of the Tanzanian University of Ag-
riculture as Professor of Forest Biology, which
title was conferred by the Norwegian government
supporting the university. His Tanzanian research
extended to all of northeast Tanzania. He became
a consultant to the Norwegian Agency for Devel-
opment Cooperation (NORAD), and the results of
his research were published in a local publication
of the WWF, co-authored with Jon Lovett.

After returning from Tanzania (1989) he
worked for two years in Vácrátót and then went
to Eszterházy Károly College in Eger (1991)
as a professor. He headed the Department of
Botany and was also Vice President of the col-
lege for several years. In Eger he established the
Bryological Research Group of the Hungarian
Academy of Sciences and led it between 1999
and 2003.
During his years in Vácrátót he lectured at

and at the University of Agriculture in Gödöllő,

a cryptobiotic layer could exist on the rocky sur-
face of Mars. He lectured on the results of his
research on cryptobiotic layers in 2001. His suc-
cess in this new aspect of research can be seen
in 48 publications about it. The year 2003 saw
several publications recognizing his research in
Acta Academiae Pedagogicae Agriensis in Hun-
garian (Fekete 2003; Orbán 2003; Varga 2003) and
in Acta Botanica Hungarica in English (Orbán
2003). The latter contains the new taxa described
up to 2002, taxa collected by Tamás Pócs but de-
scribed by other researchers, and his publications
up to 2003.
In this brief contribution it is not possible to
convey the full picture of Tamás Pócs’s enormous
publication activity, and his passion for research,
collecting and expedition organizing, pursued with
youthful dynamism even during the past decade.
Suffice it to say that Professor Pócs has published
more than 150 works during the last ten years. An
updated list of his publications can be found on
the website of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
(https://www.mtmt.hu).
