Resting-state ANS activity, indexed by measures of heart rate [HR] and its variability [HRV] has been associated with brain morphology, particularly cortical thickness [CT]. While findings have been mixed regarding the anatomical distribution and direction of the associations, these inconsistencies may be due to sex and age differences in HR/HRV and CT. Previous studies have been limited by small sample sizes, which impede the assessment of sex differences and aging effects on the association between ANS function and CT. To overcome these limitations, 20 groups worldwide contributed data collected under similar protocols of CT assessment and HR/HRV recording to be pooled in a mega-analysis (N = 1,218 (50.5\% female), mean age 36.7 years (range: 12-87)). Findings suggest a decline in HRV as well as CT with increasing age. CT, particularly in the orbitofrontal cortex, explained additional variance in HRV, beyond the effects of aging. This pattern of results may suggest that the decline in HRV with increasing age is related to a decline in orbitofrontal CT. These effects were independent of sex and specific to HRV; with no significant association between CT and HR. Greater CT across the adult lifespan may be vital for the maintenance of healthy cardiac regulation via the ANS-or greater cardiac vagal activity as indirectly reflected in HRV may slow brain atrophy.

However, there is a remarkable lack of information about the status quo of organic carbon in agricultural soils. In this study a comprehensive data set of 384 cropland soils and 333 grassland soils within the state of Bavaria in southeast Germany was analyzed in order to provide representative information on total amount, regional distribution and driving parameters of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) in agricultural soils of central Europe. The results showed that grassland soils stored higher amounts of SOC (11.8 kg m(-2)) and N (0.92 kg m(-2)) than cropland soils (9.0 and 0.66 kg m(-2), respectively) due to moisture-induced accumulation of soil organic matter (SOM) in B horizons. Surprisingly, no distinct differences were found for the A horizons since tillage led to a relocation of SOM with depth in cropland soils. Statistical analyses of driving factors for SOM storage revealed soil moisture, represented by the topographic wetness index (TWI), as the most important parameter for both cropland and grassland soils. Climate effects (mean annual temperature and precipitation) were of minor importance in agricultural soils because management options counteracted them to a certain extent, particularly in cropland soils. The distribution of SOC and N stocks within Bavaria based on agricultural regions confirmed the importance of soil moisture since the highest cropland SOC and N stocks were found for tertiary hills and loess regions, which exhibited large areas with potentially high soil moisture content in extant floodplains. Grassland soils showed the highest accumulation of SOC and N in the Alps and Pre-Alps as a result of low temperatures, high amounts of precipitation and high soil moisture content in areas of glacial denudation. Soil class was identified as a further driving parameter for SOC and N storage in cropland soils. In total, cropland and grassland soils in Bavaria store 242 and 134 Mt SOC as well as 19 and 12 Mt N down to a soil depth of 1 m or the parent material, respectively.}, language = {en} } @article{WiesmeierPrietzelBartholdetal.2013, author = {Wiesmeier, Martin and Prietzel, J{\"o}rg and Barthold, Frauke Katrin and Sp{\"o}rlein, Peter and Geuss, Uwe and Hangen, Edzard and Reischl, Arthur and Schilling, Bernd and von L{\"u}tzow, Margit and K{\"o}gel-Knabner, Ingrid}, title = {Storage and drivers of organic carbon in forest soils of southeast Germany (Bavaria) - Implications for carbon sequestration}, series = {Forest ecology and management}, volume = {295}, journal = {Forest ecology and management}, number = {10}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0378-1127}, doi = {10.1016/j.foreco.2013.01.025}, pages = {162 -- 172}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Temperate forest soils of central Europe are regarded as important pools for soil organic carbon (SOC) and thought to have a high potential for carbon (C) sequestration.

In this study, we analyzed a forest data set of 596 completely sampled soil profiles down to the parent material or to a depth of 1 m within Bavaria in southeast Germany in order to determine representative SOC stocks under different forest types in central Europe and the impact of different environmental parameters. We calculated a total median SOC stock of 9.8 kg m(-2) which is considerably lower compared with many other inventories within central Europe that used modelled instead of measured soil properties. Statistical analyses revealed climate as controlling parameter for the storage of SOC with increasing stocks in cool, humid mountainous regions and a strong decrease in areas with higher temperatures. No significant differences of total SOC storage were found between broadleaf, coniferous and mixed forests. However, coniferous forests stored around 35\% of total SOC in the labile organic layer that is prone to human disturbance, forest fires and rising temperatures. In contrast, mixed and broadleaf forests stored the major part of SOC in the mineral soil. Moreover, these two forest types showed unchanged or even slightly increased mineral SOC stocks with higher temperatures, whereas SOC stocks in mineral soils under coniferous forest were distinctly lower. We conclude that mixed and broadleaf forests are more advantageous for C sequestration than coniferous forests.

However, information about the soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration potential in steppe soils and their current saturation status remains unknown. In this study, we estimated the OC storage capacity of semi-arid grassland soils on the basis of remote, natural steppe fragments in northern China. Based on the maximum OC saturation of silt and clay particles <20m, OC sequestration potentials of degraded steppe soils (grazing land, arable land, eroded areas) were estimated. The analysis of natural grassland soils revealed a strong linear regression between the proportion of the fine fraction and its OC content, confirming the importance of silt and clay particles for OC stabilization in steppe soils. This relationship was similar to derived regressions in temperate and tropical soils but on a lower level, probably due to a lower C input and different clay mineralogy. In relation to the estimated OC storage capacity, degraded steppe soils showed a high OC saturation of 78-85\% despite massive SOC losses due to unsustainable land use. As a result, the potential of degraded grassland soils to sequester additional OC was generally low. This can be related to a relatively high contribution of labile SOC, which is preferentially lost in the course of soil degradation. Moreover, wind erosion leads to substantial loss of silt and clay particles and consequently results in a direct loss of the ability to stabilize additional OC. Our findings indicate that the SOC loss in semi-arid environments induced by intensive land use is largely irreversible. Observed SOC increases after improved land management mainly result in an accumulation of labile SOC prone to land use/climate changes and therefore cannot be regarded as contribution to long-term OC sequestration.}, language = {en} } @misc{HornConradGuentherSeipetal.2024, author = {Horn-Conrad, Antje and G{\"u}nther, Oliver and Seip, Juliane and Zimmermann, Matthias and Schuster, Stefanie and Himmler, Lena and Liebig, Ference and Engel, Silke and Scholz, Jana and B{\"a}hnisch, Marianna and Brosius-Gersdorf, Frauke and Agrofylax, Luisa and Limbach, Oliver and Peter, Stefanie and Ramm, Lina Marie and Kampe, Heike and Mikulla, Stefanie}, title = {Portal Transfer 2024}, series = {Portal Transfer: Alumni- und Transfermagazin der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, journal = {Portal Transfer: Alumni- und Transfermagazin der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, number = {2024}, issn = {2747-6898}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-64698}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-646984}, pages = {82}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, die eigene „Blase" verlassen, Perspektiven wechseln, Silo-Mentalit{\"a}t {\"u}berwinden - was der Wissenschaft in ihrem Innern gelingt, ja gelingen muss, um erfolgreich zu sein, stellt sie in ihrer Außenwirkung noch immer vor Herausforderungen. Dabei geh{\"o}rt es doch inzwischen zum Selbstverst{\"a}ndnis moderner Universit{\"a}ten, {\"o}ffentlich zu erkl{\"a}ren, woran in ihren R{\"a}umen geforscht wird, sich in gesellschaftliche Diskurse einzubringen und ihre Erkenntnisse z{\"u}gig in die Praxis zu {\"u}berf{\"u}hren. Die Universit{\"a}t Potsdam hat diese Transferaufgaben neben Lehre und Forschung als dritte S{\"a}ule installiert und ihrem Geb{\"a}ude damit noch mehr Stabilit{\"a}t verliehen. Seit Jahren geh{\"o}rt sie im nationalen Vergleich zu den erfolgreichsten Hochschulen, wenn es darum geht, Start-ups zu f{\"o}rdern und aus der Forschung heraus Unternehmen zu gr{\"u}nden: In diesem Magazin berichten wir von der Potassco Solutions GmbH des Informatikers Torsten Schaub, der mit seinem KI-System Clingo komplexe Optimierungsprobleme in Betrieben l{\"o}st. Oder von der SEQSTANT GmbH, die mit innovativer Diagnostik Erreger von Atemwegserkrankungen in Echtzeit bestimmen kann. Wir zeigen aber auch, wie Forschungsteams mit der Industrie kooperieren, zum Beispiel mit der K-UTEC im th{\"u}ringischen Sondershausen, um mit wissenschaftlichem Knowhow dazu beizutragen, dass dort in Produktionsabf{\"a}llen kein wertvolles Lithium verloren geht. Richtet sich der Technologietransfer vor allem an die Wirtschaft, so hilft der Wissenstransfer der gesamten Gesellschaft. Besonders stark ist die Universit{\"a}t Potsdam hier in der Bildung, denn mit ihren Lehramtsabsolventen schickt sie auch gleich den aktuellen Stand der Unterrichtsforschung in die Schulpraxis. Immer h{\"a}ufiger zieht dabei die Digitalisierung in die Klassenzimmer ein. Wie das gut gelingen kann, ist in diesem Magazin zu lesen. Zudem erkl{\"a}ren wir, was die Sportwissenschaft zur Therapie von Depressionen beitragen kann oder wie die Umweltforschung das Risikomanagement in von Hochwasser bedrohten Regionen verbessern will. Ob in {\"o}ffentlichen Verwaltungen oder politischen Institutionen - {\"u}berall ist wissenschaftliche Expertise gefragt. Wir zeigen das am Beispiel von Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, die als Juristin die Bundesregierung zur Regulierung des Schwangerschaftsabbruchs ber{\"a}t. Der k{\"u}rzeste Weg des Wissens aus der Universit{\"a}t in die Praxis f{\"u}hrt zweifelsohne {\"u}ber die Alumni, die als Fach- und F{\"u}hrungskr{\"a}fte im Land und dar{\"u}ber hinaus wirksam werden. Dass dieser Weg schon w{\"a}hrend des Studiums beginnen kann, beweisen die vielen studentischen Initiativen, die hier zu Wort kommen. Sie alle scheuen nicht das Rampenlicht: ob bei Science Slams auf den B{\"u}hnen im Land Brandenburg, bei den TEDx-Talks im Hans Otto Theater, beim Kunst-Rundgang in der Potsdamer Waschhaus-Arena oder mit englischsprachigem Schauspiel an der Uni. {\"O}ffentlich in Erscheinung treten, neue Formen finden, um Wissen in die Breite der Bev{\"o}lkerung zu tragen - auch das geh{\"o}rt zum Transfer.
