Boreal peatlands are major sources of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to downstream aquatic ecosystems, forest harvesting generally further increases the loading DOC nutrients. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) is proposed be an environmentally more sustainable management option for peatland forests than conventional even-aged clear-cutting. However, impacts CCF on water quality, biodegradability consequent CO2 emissions from inland waters poorly known. We...

The past decades have witnessed an increase in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations the catchments of Northern Hemisphere. Increasing terrestrial productivity and changing hydrology may be reasons for increases DOC concentration. aim this study is to investigate impacts increased changed following climate change on concentrations. We tested quantified effects gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (RE) discharge boreal over 3 years. As catchment characteristics can...

Forests are increasingly exposed to extreme global warming-induced climatic events. However, the immediate and carry-over effects of events on forests still poorly understood. Gross primary productivity (GPP) capacity is regarded as a good proxy ecosystem's functional stability, reflecting its physiological response surroundings. Using eddy covariance data from 34 forest sites in Northern Hemisphere, we analyzed late-spring frost (LSF) growing season drought needle-leaf broadleaf forests....

Abstract Around 30% of peatland in Nordic and Baltic countries has been drained for forestry. Drained peatlands are major sources dissolved organic carbon (DOC) nutrients to surface waters, contributing global warming, eutrophication, brownification. However, the effects forest clearcutting changes water table on biodegradation DOC CO 2 poorly known. We collected peat columns from drained, uncut, clearcut forests a common garden experiment exposed them high low tables study levels production...

Boreal forests play a crucial role in emitting biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), which have both warming and cooling effects on the Earth's climate. These are among primary sources of secondary aerosols (SOAs). Plant-emitted BVOCs, such as isoprenoids (including isoprene, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes), serve precursors to SOAs, significantly affecting air quality Recent research indicates that forest fires also long-term impacts BVOC emissions, influenced by frequency severity...

Abstract Key message During the first summer, wood biochar amendments increased soil temperature, pH, and CO 2 effluxes in a xeric boreal Scots pine forest. The increase of efflux could be largely explained by increases temperature. Higher application rates (1.0 vs 0.5 kg m −2 ) led to higher while pyrolysis temperature (500 or 650 °C) had no effect on efflux. Context Using as amendment has been proposed carbon sequestration soils. However, more rapid organic matter turnover after might...

Contamination by heavy metals is one of the most serious environmental problems generated from human activities. Because phytoremediation utilizes plants to uptake contaminants, it could potentially be used remediate metal-contaminated areas. A pot culture experiment with four levels cadmium (Cd) (0, 20, 40, and 80 mg Cd/kg dry soil) was conducted investigate Cd accumulation tolerance roots, shoots, leaves Lagerstroemia indica fauriei as well their potential for phytoremediation....

Abstract Peatlands are globally significant C storage because waterlogged conditions slow down organic matter (OM) decomposition. Changes in the water table (WT) of global warming or drainage, consecutive vegetation succession, and enhanced root exudation causing priming may transform peatlands from sinks to sources. We studied how glucose addition, WT, forest harvesting affect chemical composition peat decomposition rate by incubating columns collected drained clear‐cut (CC) forested (FD)...

Boreal peatlands are vast carbon (C) stores but also major sources of dissolved organic C (DOC) and nutrients to surface waters. Drainage forest harvesting accelerates DOC leaching. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) is considered cause fewer adverse environmental effects. Yet, the effects CCF on processes unrecognised. We study production quality in unharvested, CCF, clear-cut drained peatland forests a non-forested alluvial sedge fen. Parallel replicate peat columns with ground vegetation...

Increases in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) have occurred many freshwaters across Europe and North America over the last decades. Several mechanisms been proposed to explain these trends, but consensus regarding relative importance of recovery from acid deposition, climate change, land management remains elusive. To advance our understanding browning mechanisms, we explored DOC trends 13 nested boreal catchments, leveraging concurrent hydrological, chemical, terrestrial ecosystem data...

Abstract. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) degradation in freshwater rivers and streams plays a major role the global carbon cycle. However, little is known about how source composition of riverine DOM contribute to production greenhouse gases, especially high-latitude areas with large proportion carbon-rich peatlands. Here, we conducted for first time combination molecular-level characterization terrestrially derived potential dioxide (CO2) measurements pristine subarctic Finnish Lapland....

Abstract Over the past few decades, many catchments in Northern hemisphere have experienced increases dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, resulting a brownish color of water, known as aquatic browning. Several mechanisms been proposed to explain browning, but consensus regarding relative importance recovery from acid deposition, climate change, and land management remains elusive. To advance our understanding browning mechanisms, we explored DOC trends across 13 nested boreal...
