In this chapter, the authors aim to uncover the organizational principles–the main drivers
and controls, and their interactions and feedbacks–that determine the development and …

Forest management guidelines are designed to protect water quality from unintended effects
of land use changes such as timber harvest, mining, or forest road construction. Although …

In the mostly pristine Congo Basin, agricultural land-use change has intensified in recent
years. One potential and understudied consequence of this deforestation and conversion to …

Boreal peatlands are major sources of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and dissolved organic
carbon (DOC) to downstream aquatic ecosystems, and forest harvesting generally further …

Low‐order boreal streams are particularly sensitive interfaces where dissolved organic
matter (DOM) is transported from soils to inland waters. Disentangling the relative influence …

Terrestrial runoff represents a major source of mercury (Hg) to aquatic ecosystems. In boreal
forest catchments, such as the one in northern Sweden studied here, mercury bound to …

The dynamics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) transport from black soil and its potential
effects on the quality, safety, and treatability of water are poorly understood. Here, sequential …

Surface waters contribute substantially to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the
atmosphere. However, global estimates remain uncertain due to methodological difficulties …

Protecting water quality in forested regions is increasingly important as pressures from land-
use, long-range transport of air pollutants, and climate change intensify. Maintaining forest …

Previous studies of harvest impacts on stream chemistry from deciduous forests with
seasonal snow cover have shown variable responses and recovery times. We hypothesized …
