Selection Cuttings as a Tool to Control Water Table Level in Boreal Drained Peatland Forests

Selection Cuttings as a Tool to Control Water Table Level in Boreal Drained Peatland Forests

Continuous cover management on peatland forests has gained interest in recent years, in part because the tree biomass with significant evapotranspiration capacity retained in selection cuttings could be used as a tool to optimize the site water table level (WTL) from both tree growth and environment...
