  • After obtaining his degree in 1936, What degree?
  • he passed with commendable remarks Commendable is a little unencyclopedic
  • Link "Swedish Natural Science Research Council"
  • There, he broadened understanding of the region's Broadened not the right word here
  • Kärnefelt fondly recalls their first meeting in 1970 as the beginning of a lifelong friendship and professional relationship, during which Almborn guided him through the complexities of lichenology with encouragement and expert insight. Unencyclopedic tone
  • leaving a lasting legacy on many who passed through Lund University's botanical department. Again unencyclopedic
  • Almborn retired in 1980, although he kept active Kept active?
  • His stories of venerable botanists captivated and amused his colleagues, adding a personal touch to his scholarly presence. Unencyclopedic
  • He is remembered for his kindness, generosity, and the lasting influence of his scientific endeavors. Unencyclopedic once again
  • Through these contributions, Almborn left a lasting imprint on lichenology and botanical studies, ensuring that his influence would continue to be felt long after his passing. Yet another case
  • I've "neutralized" the tone for all of the "unencyclopedic" examples you pointed out; I don't want to remove them entirely, as his obituaries emphasize these aspects of his personality. Esculenta (talk) 19:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
