Abstract
In memory of Prof. Astrid Kiendler-Scharr, this abstract reflects on her significant contributions to atmospheric science and aerosol-ecosystem interactions. Kiendler-Scharr was a renowned researcher and leader in atmospheric chemistry who made groundbreaking contributions to the understanding of the complex interplay between atmospheric aerosols and ecosystems. Her work on the chemical composition and formation mechanisms of aerosols, as well as their impact on climate and air quality, has left a lasting impact on the field of atmospheric science. Kiendler-Scharr was also known for her dedication to fostering the next generation of scientists and her commitment to public outreach, making science accessible to a wider audience. Her passing is a great loss to the scientific community, but her legacy will continue to inspire and influence researchers for years to come.
