Drainage for forestry has created~ 1 million km of artificial waterways in Sweden, making it
one of the largest human-induced environmental disturbances in the country. These …

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

The globally widespread drainage of peatlands has often been shown to lead to increased
concentrations and fluxes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in streams and rivers. Elevated …

One fourth of the forests in Finland are growing on drained peatlands. Forestry operations
such as ditch network maintenance increase the export of suspended solids and nutrients …

The rewetting of drained peatlands is currently a common practice for re-establishing near-
natural hydrological conditions and for reducing peatland greenhouse gas (GHG) …

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 …

Drainage of forested wetlands for increased timber production has profoundly altered the
hydrology and water quality of their downstream waterways. Some ditches need network …

Peatlands have been drained for land use for a long time and on a large scale, turning them
from carbon and nutrient sinks into respective sources, diminishing water regulation …

Restoration of drained peatlands has been promoted to reduce gaseous and aquatic carbon
losses; however, there are conflicting reports as to its effectiveness. Here we report …

The potential for restoration of peatlands to deliver benefits beyond habitat restoration is
poorly understood. There may be impacts on discharge water quality, peat erosion, flow …
