Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration and related climate change have stimulated much interest in the potential of soils to sequester carbon. In ‘The Jena Experiment’, a managed grassland experiment on a former agricultural field, we investigated the link between plant diversity and soil carbon storage. The biodiversity gradient ranged from one to 60 species belonging to four functional groups. Stratified soil samples were taken to 30 cm depth from 86 plots in 2002, 2004 and 2006, and organic carbon contents were determined. Soil organic carbon stocks in 0–30 cm decreased from 7.3 kg C m?2 in 2002 to 6.9 kg C m?2 in 2004, but had recovered to 7.8 kg C m?2 by 2006. During the first 2 years, carbon storage was limited to the top 5 cm of soil while below 10 cm depth, carbon was lost probably as short‐term effect of the land use change. After 4 years, carbon stocks significantly increased within the top 20 cm. More importantly, carbon storage significantly increased with sown species richness (log‐transformed) in all depth segments and even carbon losses were significantly smaller with higher species richness. Although increasing species diversity increased root biomass production, statistical analyses revealed that species diversity per se was more important than biomass production for changes in soil carbon. Below 20 cm depth, the presence of one functional group, tall herbs, significantly reduced carbon losses in the beginning of the experiment. Our analysis indicates that plant species richness and certain plant functional traits accelerate the build‐up of new carbon pools within 4 years. Additionally, higher plant diversity mitigated soil carbon losses in deeper horizons. This suggests that higher biodiversity might lead to higher soil carbon sequestration in the long‐term and therefore the conservation of biodiversity might play a role in greenhouse gas mitigation. 相似文献

Human skin is repeatedly exposed to mechanical stretching in vivo, but in an ordinary culture of skin cells this prominent feature has been neglected. In order to study whether mechanical stretching plays a role for human melanocytes, we have established a culture technique to mimic this physical stretching: primary cultures of human melanocytes were plated on silicon supports, which undergo a stretching of about 10% of the initial length. After application of repeated stretching and relaxation for 4 days, cell count was significantly (about 40%) enhanced. In addition, we found ~ 2-fold increase in heat shock protein (HSP) 90, both at the protein and mRNA level. HSP 90 is known to bind to Raf-1 and, therefore, may contribute to the Raf-1-MEK (mitogen-activated protein-kinase kinase)-MAPK (mitogen-activated protein-kinase) signaling pathway. Disruption of the Raf-1-HSP 90 multimolecular complex by geldanamycin lead to a considerable decrease in melanocyte cell count. However, geldanamycin did not reverse the stretch-induced growth stimulation. Therefore, the stretch-mediated up-regulation of HSP 90 expression in melanocytes appears to be independent of stretch-mediated growth stimulation. These findings have strong implications for the in vitro cultivation of melanocytes for transplantation purposes. 相似文献

Cells of human epidermis are permanently targeted by mechanical stimuli. Besides mechanical forces from external sources the body itself generates mechanical forces via muscle contractions and growth processes. Recently, it was demonstrated that mechanical stretch is connected to enhanced proliferation in epidermal cells. The underlying biochemical events are still a matter of debate. Here we show that mechanical stretch leads to activation of both ERK1/2 and SAPK/JNK in human melanocytes and keratinocytes. In response to a 5 min single stretch ERK1/2 becomes moderately induced in melanocytes and peaked 30 min after the stimulus. In keratinocytes strong activation of ERK1/2 is present directly after the stimulus. SAPK/JNK shows the same activation pattern in both cell species – a slow but steady activation. The different kinetics of both MAPK suggest that different signalling cascades were activated. Future studies should evaluate the relevance of stretch‐dependent MAPK activation in triggering the cell proliferation. 相似文献
