Freshwaters of the boreal and temperate regions have experienced increased browning
during the last decades. Browning, or brownification, is mostly driven by increased organic …

Riparian forests (RFs) along streams and rivers in forested landscapes provide many
ecosystem functions that are important for the biodiversity and biogeochemistry of both …

Forested riparian buffers are recommended to mitigate negative effects of forest harvesting
on recipient freshwater ecosystems. Most of the current best practices of riparian buffer …

Recent bark beetle epidemics have caused regional‐scale tree mortality in many snowmelt‐
dominated headwater catchments of western North America. Initial expectations of …

Boreal forests cover about one-third of the global forested area and are under rapid
alteration due to increased natural and human-induced forest disturbance, which have …

Abstract Purposeof Review Paired catchment studies have documented the extent to which
forest harvesting impairs forested watersheds. Adverse effects on stream water quality and …

Predicting the responses of streamflow to changes in forest management is fundamental to
the sustainable regulation of water resources. However, studies of changes in forest cover …

In this review, we draw together the research on the two-way connection of streams and their
riparian forests of the boreal zone from ecological points of view. Although the knowledge …

We analysed the driving forces of temporal change in the cover of boreal forest plant species
in Finland over 21 years (1985–2006). Our study focused on the effects of forest cuttings of …

A North American epidemic of mountain pine beetle (MPB) has disturbed over 5 million ha of
forest containing headwater catchments crucial to water resources. However, there are …
