Rewetting of disturbed peatlands is an important restoration strategy for climate change
mitigation. Previous work primarily focuses on the biogeochemical processes altered by …

Impacts of forestry have been described in many studies, with a strong focus on changes in
run-off water quality. Biological responses to forest drainage and the efficiency of commonly …

At sites with either peat or mineral soils in large areas of boreal forests, high soil-water
contents hamper tree growth and drainage can significantly increase growth. Hence, areas …

Rewetting is a necessary measure to stop CO 2 emissions of degraded peatlands and to
restore their natural habitat and C accumulation function. Although the severity and …

Open landscapes in many parts of Europe have been negatively affected by large-scale
drainage and amelioration to support agricultural production. In continental alkali …

Planet Earth is undergoing significant changes which are driven by natural and
anthropogenic factors. However, it is difficult to identify the drivers and their effect on the …

Nitrate pollution and eutrophication remain pressing issues in Europe regarding the quality
of aquatic ecosystems and the safety of drinking water. Achieving water quality goals under …

Small water bodies including drainage ditches can be hotspots for methane (CH 4)
emissions from peatlands. We assessed the CH 4 emissions of a drained and a rewetted …

Among wetlands, rich fens are one of the most species‐rich, and also one of the most
threatened habitats due to drainage activities. We tested the effects of several restoration …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of different water management
options to mitigate sediment and nutrient exports from ditch network maintenance (DNM) …
