Berry studied North and South American flora and published taxonomic studies with theoretical reconstructions of paleoecology and phytogeography. He started his scientific career as an amateur scientist, working with William Bullock Clark as a lab assistant in 1905.[1] At Johns Hopkins University he held various positions including teacher, research scientist, scientific editor, provost, and dean. Berry was appointed geologist with the U. S. Geological Survey in 1910 along with the post of assistant state geologist for Maryland in 1917, both positions he kept until retiring in 1942.[1]
