Ditch cleaning (DC) is a well-established forestry practice across Fennoscandia to lower
water table levels (WTL) and thereby facilitate the establishment of tree seedlings following …

Ditch cleaning (DC) is increasingly applied to facilitate forest regeneration following clear-
cutting in Fennoscandinavia. However, its impact on the ecosystem carbon and greenhouse …

Rewetting can promote the ecological recovery of disturbed peatland ecosystems and may
help to revert these ecosystems to carbon dioxide (CO2) sinks. However, rewetting of …

Forestry is a natural climate solution for removing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and
reaching net zero emissions. Managed boreal forests typically have extensive drainage …

Globally, large areas of peatland have been drained through the digging of ditches,
generally to increase agricultural production. By lowering the water table it is often assumed …

Soil preparation to expedite stand establishment after clearcutting is an extensively applied
measure in peatland forest regeneration sites particularly in Fennoscandinavia. Thus far, the …

Carbon sequestration in forests can potentially be enhanced through optimized forest
management strategies and thus, mitigate climate change. However, carbon dioxide is not …

Artificial drainage is prerequisite for conventional agricultural use of peatlands, but causes
high emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), mainly carbon dioxide (CO 2). Furthermore …

Rotation forestry including clearcutting is a common method of practising forestry in
Fennoscandia. Clearcutting in peatland forests markedly increases environmental loading …

The 2015 Paris Agreement encourages stakeholders to implement sustainable forest
management policies to mitigate anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). The …
