Total mercury and methylmercury in runoff water after wetland restoration and ditch cleaning
This project evaluates how wetland restoration and ditch cleaning effect total Hg (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in runoff waters. Forest soils have retained high loads of Hg
Interdisciplinary decision support tool for ditches across Sweden
One million kilometers of ditches have been dug across Swedish forest land over the last 100 years to improve forest production. However, many of these are no longer desired because either they are
Effects of Ditch Cleaning on Total Suspended Sediments
Understanding the consequences of traditional management of ditches is important for improving our forestry practices, particularly how clearcutting and ditch network maintenance (DNM) affect
