Exploring the Role of Weather and Forest Management on Nutrient Export in Boreal Forested Catchments Using Spatially Distributed Model

Aura Salmivaara et al.

Summary: Weather and forest management affect nutrient export from land to water systems. The study quantified the variation in nitrogen and phosphorus export in a Finnish catchment under different weather and forest management scenarios. Results showed that nutrient export increased more under wet and mild weather than under clear-cutting scenarios. Dry weather significantly decreased nutrient export. Maintaining a good ecological status in aquatic systems may be challenging in the future if extreme wet years occur more frequently.

Using a digital elevation model to place overland flow fields and uncleaned ditch sections for water protection in peatland forest management

Mikko T. Niemi et al.

Summary: Peatland forest management in Finland contributes significant additional nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic carbon loads to surface waters. The maintenance of ditch networks is commonly used for soil drainage, but it can result in nutrient mobilization and suspended sediment loads that negatively impact water quality. Various water protection structures have been developed to mitigate these impacts, including overland flow fields and leaving breaks between cleaned ditch sections. Spatial analysis using GIS-based tools can help in identifying suitable locations for these structures.

Applying continuous-cover forestry on drained boreal peatlands; water regulation, biodiversity, climate benefits and remaining uncertainties

Hjalmar Laudon et al.

Summary: Continuous-cover forestry (CCF) is being considered as a potential alternative to clear-cut harvesting in boreal forests to improve water quality and quantity, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. This study reviews the empirical evidence for the benefits of CCF on drained forested peatlands, discusses potential risks and uncertainties, and highlights unanswered questions before large-scale implementation. The ability to maintain forest production on drained peatlands depends on water regulation of groundwater table, and CCF could provide an alternative approach to manage groundwater without disturbing the existing artificial channel network. While CCF could lower the risk of flooding and droughts and enhance water quality and carbon sequestration, uncertainties remain regarding natural regeneration, soil damage, and the effects of climate change.

Site types revisited: Comparison of traditional Russian and Finnish classification systems for European boreal forests

Tahti Pohjanmies et al.

Summary: Forest classifications are important tools in research, monitoring, and management, with the Cajanderian and Sukachevian systems being commonly used in Finland and Russia. This study compared the two systems in terms of understorey vegetation composition, soil fertility, tree productivity, and biodiversity, finding that certain site types overlapped and were comparable between the systems. The results contribute to the transfer of technology and information between Finnish and Russian forests for ecological research and management purposes.

Data sets for the Upper Penticton Creek watershed experiment: A paired-catchment study to support investigations of watershed response to forest dynamics and climatic variability in an inland snow-dominated region

R. Dan Moore et al.

Summary: The Upper Penticton Creek watershed experiment is one of a few forestry-focused paired catchment experiments in the snow-dominated zone of western North America, involving an undisturbed control catchment and two treatment catchments. With decades of hydrological monitoring and research, the dataset provides valuable support for analyzing hydrological responses to forest dynamics and climatic variability.

Drainage for forestry increases N, P and TOC export to boreal surface waters

Leena Finer et al.

Summary: This study found that concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, and total organic carbon in forest runoff increase with temperature sum from north to south. The concentrations also increase with the proportion of drained areas in the catchment, with nitrogen and organic carbon concentrations further increasing with the proportion of peatlands. However, phosphorus concentrations showed a decreasing trend over the last few decades. The research reveals that forest management contributes significantly to nutrient export, with new estimates being more than double the old estimates used by environmental authorities.

The Effect of Nitrogen Fertilization on Tree Growth, Soil Organic Carbon and Nitrogen Leaching-A Modeling Study in a Steep Nitrogen Deposition Gradient in Sweden

Klas Lucander et al.

Summary: Nitrogen fertilization has the potential to increase tree growth and carbon sequestration in forests, but it also poses a risk of N leaching. Dynamic modeling can play a crucial role in assessing the benefits and risks of nitrogen fertilization. The ForSAFE model was able to accurately simulate the effects of N fertilization under different levels of N availability in forests, confirming the N saturation theory.

Drainage and Stand Growth Response in Peatland Forests-Description, Testing, and Application of Mechanistic Peatland Simulator SUSI

Ari Lauren et al.

Summary: Drainage is crucial in peatland forest management, and the SUSI simulator accurately predicts water table and stand growth under different conditions. Stand growth is mainly limited by potassium supply and oxygen availability in Sphagnum peats. The model application demonstrates the impact of ditch network maintenance on stand growth under different ditch depths.

Increases in organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations in boreal forested catchments - Changes driven by climate and deposition

Ahti Lepisto et al.

Summary: Brownification, caused by increasing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, poses a threat to aquatic ecosystems in Europe. Changes in total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations are significantly influenced by mean air temperature and sulphate concentrations, with climate warming expected to have a more pronounced impact on TOC leaching in the future. The increase in drainage percentage is positively correlated with increases in total organic nitrogen (TON), highlighting the importance of land management in the context of water quality.

NutSpaFHy-A Distributed Nutrient Balance Model to Predict Nutrient Export from Managed Boreal Headwater Catchments

Annamari (Ari) Lauren et al.

Summary: The study developed a spatially-distributed nutrient balance model which can help forest managers identify current and future nutrient export hot spots and compare different logging scenarios. Results show that the model can effectively assess the impact of logging on nutrient export and find suitable scenarios that balance wood supply and acceptable levels of nutrient export.

Controls of Organic Carbon and Nutrient Export from Unmanaged and Managed Boreal Forested Catchments

Heidi Aaltonen et al.

Summary: Understanding the factors influencing runoff water quality is crucial for water protection and forest management, especially in changing climates. In a study in Finland, managed forested catchments showed higher concentrations and exports of organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus compared to unmanaged ones. Long term temperature increases were also found to have an increasing effect on nutrient loads, posing challenges for future water resource protection and forest management.
