He was the first to formulate the principles of definition of living beings of natural nature and created a unified system of their names, binary nomenclature. Linnaeus' book "The System of Nature", first published in 1735, is one of the most important books in the history of science and practically opened the classification of plants and animals.

In addition to his work in botany and scientific classification, Linnaeus led many activities for the betterment of his native country.
