Editing Carl Linnaeus (section)

=== Öland and Gotland ===
Ten days after he was appointed professor, he undertook an expedition to the island provinces of [[Öland]] and [[Gotland]] with six students from the university to look for plants useful in medicine. They stayed on Öland until 21 June, then sailed to [[Visby]] in Gotland. Linnaeus and the students stayed on Gotland for about a month, and then returned to Uppsala. During this expedition, they found 100 previously unrecorded plants. The observations from the expedition were later published in ''{{lang|sv|Öländska och Gothländska Resa}}'', written in Swedish. Like ''{{lang|la|Flora Lapponica}}'', it contained both zoological and botanical observations, as well as observations concerning the culture in Öland and Gotland.<ref name="Koerner115">[[#Koerner|Koerner (1999)]], p. 115.</ref><ref>[[#Blunt|Blunt (2004)]], pp. 137–142.</ref>

During the summer of 1745, Linnaeus published two more books: ''{{lang|la|Flora Suecica}}'' and ''{{lang|la|Fauna Suecica}}''. ''{{lang|la|Flora Suecica}}'' was a strictly botanical book, while ''{{lang|la|Fauna Suecica}}'' was [[zoology|zoological]].<ref name=nrm.se/><ref>[[#Stöver|Stöver (1794)]], pp. 117–118.</ref> [[Anders Celsius]] had created the temperature scale [[Celsius|named after him]] in 1742. Celsius's scale was originally inverted compared to the way it is used today, with water boiling at 0&nbsp;°C and freezing at 100&nbsp;°C. Linnaeus was the one who inverted the scale to its present usage, in 1745.<ref>[[#Koerner|Koerner (1999)]], p. 204.</ref>
