Landscape‐variability of the carbon balance across managed boreal forests

M Peichl, E Martínez‐García… - Global Change …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Boreal forests are important global carbon (C) sinks and, therefore, considered as a key

uncertain. Here, we compiled biometric-and chamber-based flux data from 50 boreal forest …

Consequences of rewetting and ditch cleaning on hydrology, water quality and greenhouse gas balance in a drained northern landscape

H Laudon, V Mosquera, K Eklöf, J Järveoja, S Karimi… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Two-level eddy covariance measurements reduce bias in land-atmosphere exchange estimates over a heterogeneous boreal forest landscape

A Klosterhalfen, J Chi, N Kljun, A Lindroth… - Agricultural and Forest …, 2023 - Elsevier
Estimates of land-atmosphere exchanges of carbon, energy, water vapor, and other
greenhouse gases based on the eddy covariance (EC) technique rely on the fundamental …

[HTML][HTML] Rewetting impact on the hydrological function of a drained peatland in the boreal landscape

S Karimi, EM Hasselquist, S Salimi, J Järveoja… - Journal of …, 2024 - Elsevier
There is a growing interest in peatland restoration as a nature-based solution to mitigate
hydrological extremes. To counter the impacts of past peatland degradation and ongoing …

Virtual landscape-scale restoration of altered channels helps us understand the extent of impacts to guide future ecosystem management

SS Paul, EM Hasselquist, A Jarefjäll, AM Ågren - Ambio, 2023 - Springer
Human modification of hydrological connectivity of landscapes has had significant
consequences on ecosystem functioning. Artificial drainage practices have fundamentally …

MN Futter, T Dirnböck, M Forsius, JK Bäck, N Cools… - Ambio, 2023 - Springer
Integrated long-term, in-situ observations are needed to document ongoing environmental
change, to “ground-truth” remote sensing and model outputs and to predict future Earth …

Long‐term changes in dissolved inorganic carbon across boreal streams caused by altered hydrology

L Rehn, RA Sponseller, H Laudon… - Limnology and …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
A major challenge for predicting future landscape carbon (C) balances is to understand how
environmental changes affect the transfer of C from soils to surface waters. Here, we …
