SITES Data Portal provides contextual data for field research projects
SITES (Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science) is a national infrastructure for field-based ecosystem science. The backbone of SITES are ten research station and three thematic programmes. Data from the stations and the thematic programmes are openly available and published on the SITES Data Portal (https://data.fieldsites.se).
Currently, the portal holds data on basic meteorological and hydrological parameters (SITES Water) as well as broader biological and chemical data from mesocosm experiments (SITES AquaNet). The portal is continuously being updated with additional datasets. In the coming months an extensive number of datasets related to phenology and plant sciences based on spectral methods (SITES Spectral), physical and chemical properties of streams and lakes (SITES Water) will be uploaded.
Additionally, SITES is now performing e-DNA analyses on samples from various substrates collected in the vicinity of the research stations. This unique reference material is expected to be made publicly available by the end of the year.
Visit the SITES Data Portal (https://data.fieldsites.se/portal and search the existing data sets by theme, keywords, parameter or unit of measurements. Data is open for use under the Creative Commons CC-BY license, which means you are free to use the data as long as you attribute the source.
About SITES:
SITES (Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science) is a national infrastructure for terrestrial and limnological field research. SITES aims to promote high-quality research through long-term field measurements and field experiments, and by making data available.
SITES is funded by the Swedish Research Council, together with the principals of the research stations - University of Gothenburg, Swedish Polar Research Secretariat, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Stockholm University and Uppsala University. The coordinator of SITES is the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), where also the secretariat is located. Webpage www.fieldsites.se
