https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue Search results en KOLFU is a survey addressed to all members of Sweden's 20 county councils and 290 municipal councils (a total of about 13 500 people). KOLFU was conducted for the first time in 2008-2009 (KOLFU 2008). The actual number of respondents was 9 890. KOLFU 2008 was conducted by a research team at the University of Gothenburg, while the company Detector AB was responsible for the fieldwork. The survey was conducted as part of the project "Politiker tycker om demokrati". The research team consisted of Mikael Gilljam (project manager), David Karlsson and Anders Sundell. KOLFU includes questions on the representatives' social background, their opinions on political issues, their view on the rules of democracy and the political process in their own municipality and county council. The results from KOLFU 2008 are presented in the book "Politik på hemmaplan. Tiotusen fullmäktigeledamöter tycker om politik och demokrati" (Gilljam, et al., 2010a), among others. Purpose: The municipal and county council survey (KOLFU) 2008 aims to study Swedish local and regional political representatives' attitudes on democracy and politics.

KOLFU was conducted for the first time in 2008 and the second time in 2012. The total number of respondents in 2012 was 10,491. KOLFU was administrated by researchers from University of Gothenburg, while the company Detector AB was responsible for the field work. The survey was carried out within the project "Swedish politicians [Svenska politiker]". Mikael Gilljam was the project leader and David Karlsson the project coordinator. KOLFU comprise questions about the councillors' social background, attitudes towards political issues, views on democracy and political work in their own municipalities and regions. Purpose: The aim of KOLFU is to survey Swedish local and regional politicians' views on democracy and politics. The KOLFU-survey was mainly conducted through a web-survey. The field work was carried out in the following way: In phase one, e-mail addresses to as many councillors as possible were assembled. In an e-mail, the respondents were given the opportunity to respond to the questionnaire on the Web. Councillors who lacked an e-mail address were sent a paper questionnaire by post. Councillors with e-mail addresses could also ask to be sent a postal questionnaire. Respondents received repeated reminders through e-mail, postal mail and via telephone.

In this study we measured CH4 emissions from two connected lake basins, one where we increased concentrations of dissolved oxygen in the water column (Experimental basin), and one that was left in a natural state, resulting in deep water oxygen depletion (Reference basin). In the Experimental basin, the dissolved oxygen addition resulted in negligible CH4 accumulation in the water column. In the Reference basin, CH4 accumulated in anoxic water layers. However, no clear difference in CH4 emissions among the two basins could be detected during the summer. The basins only partially mixed in fall and spring and depending on the degree and intensity of water column mixing, we estimated that 0%–24% of CH4 stored in the water column was released upon fall and spring turnover, while the rest was converted to carbon dioxide by methane-oxidizing bacteria. Accordingly, water column anoxia may not be important for CH4 emissions from all boreal lakes but can represent a main share of the yearly CH4 emissions in some lakes.

Changes that have already had substantial consequences for local political leadership and are likely to bring about further change in the future. A number of such restructuring trends are sweeping over the continent, but from different starting points, at varying pace and in various mixed configurations. The research was designed to assess how, by playing on these different contexts, the restructuring trends and reforms inscribed in the wider framework of increasing global exchanges impact on the concept and praxis of political representation at local level. Four different trends of change are in focus: structural transformations in terms of privatisation, contracting out and general mimicry of private sector institutional arrangements ('New Public Management'); changes in central-local relations, most often in form of decentralisation, whereby new tasks have been allocated to the local level; the importance of political parties; internal institutional arrangements of local authorities. Central topics in the study are recruitment processes, perspectives on democracy, leadership styles, networks, intergovernmental relations, the importance of the party system and horizontal power relations in the local government organization.

The dataset includes both ecological field observations and measurements from a controlled field experiment, examining the effects of fire severity, salvage logging, experimental warming, and the presence of understory vegetation. The focus was on the growth of seedlings of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) from different provenances, to assess how these factors, individually and in combination, affect post-fire reforestation in boreal forests. The study documents biomass, height, survival, and microclimatic conditions for planted seedlings, monitored over multiple growing seasons. Provenance data enable analyses of genetic adaptations to climate change and support research on assisted migration. The purpose of the data collection was to contribute knowledge on how different forest management practices, in combination with climate-related factors, influence conifer regeneration after wildfire. The findings can inform future decisions on adaptive forest management in a warmer and more fire-prone climate. The dataset contains no personal data. Field data were collected in the Hälleskogsbrännan Nature Reserve and on land owned by AB Karl Hedin, but the data only concern environmental and ecosystem variables and cannot be linked to identifiable individuals.
