New dataset in SND: Differences in metabolic profiles between the Burmese, the Maine Coon and the Birman cat – three breeds with varying risk for diabetes mellitus Results from analysis of blood samples from healthy cats of three breeds: Burmese, Birman and Maine coon, are included. A clinical examination was performed on the cats and information noted. Hormones were analysed in serum using immunological methods. Lipoproteins were analysed using HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) and metabolomics using NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy. 12 April 2021
New dataset in SND: Perceptions and practices among Zambian sheep and goat traders concerning small ruminant health and disease The study examined the perceptions and practices of Zambian traders of small ruminants concerning sheep and goat health and disease. The data was collected at the two largest small livestock markets in Zambia, i.e. Lusaka and Kasumbalesa, in April, May, September 2018, and November 2019. 18 June 2020
New dataset in SND: Cutting edge: A comparison of contemporary practices of riparian buffer retention around headwaters in Canada, Finland and Sweden The study consisted in the description of 286 small streams in Canada, Sweden and Finland and the conditions of their riparian buffers. 18 June 2020
New dataset in SND: Global analysis of the slope of forest land The study consisted in creating a globally consistent dataset of the distribution and area of forest land within different slope classes. 18 June 2020
New dataset published via the Swedish National Data Service: Evaluating created wetlands for bird diversity and reproductive success An investigation into what habitat characteristics could explain breeding wetland bird diversity and reproductive success in created wetlands in Uppland, Sweden. 29 March 2021
New dataset published via the Swedish National Data Service: Diameter growth of trees in miombo and acacia woodland in an eroded landscape in NE Tanzania Diameter growth of 15 tree species in miombo and acacia woodland was monitored. All in all 239 individuals with a diameter >3 cm were measured intermittently from 1991 to 2010, in permanent plots. 23 March 2021
New dataset published via the Swedish National Data Service: Post-fire vegetation succession after 5 years in managed pine forests at different time since clearcutting To study plant community succession after fire and how it is influenced by time since previous (pre-fire) disturbance, vegetation data were collected in 2019, 5 years after a large (13000 hectare) wildfire in boreal Southern Sweden (county Västmanland). 25 February 2021
New dataset published via the Swedish National Data Service: Antibiotic use on small- and medium-sized pig farms – farmers’ knowledge and practices in North-eastern Thailand The data was collected in October to December 2018 through structured interviews with 164 farmers on small- and medium-sized pig farms in Khon Kaen province in northeastern Thailand. The main purpose was to collect data on antibiotic usage on pig farms of different level of intensification (i.e. small and medium) and on farmers’ knowledge regarding antibiotic use and resistance. 17 November 2020
A new dataset published via Swedish National Data service: Formation and mobilization of methylmercury across natural and experimental sulfur deposition gradients In the study, methylation of mercury was examined in a west-east gradient in 16 peatlands in southern Sweden. Peat soil and pore water were collected during the summer of 2003 to describe methylation processes in peatlands across a natural sulfate deposition gradient. 18 December 2019
A new dataset published via Swedish National Data service: Habitat patchiness, ecological connectivity and the uneven recovery of boreal stream ecosystems from an experimental drought This study investigated how impacts of drought on boreal stream ecosystems are altered by the spatial arrangement of local habitat patches within stream channels, and variation in ecological connectivity with a regional species pool. 18 December 2019
New dataset on innovation diffusion and adoption of innovations in agriculture and agri-food firms published in the Swedish national research data catalogue The study is based on systematic mapping of the literature (academic papers published in scientific journals) and conceptualization of the research in the period 1997-2017. 18 December 2019
