Browning of surface waters, as a result of increasing dissolved organic carbon and iron
concentrations, is a widespread phenomenon with implications to the structure and function …

Water browning or brownification refers to increasing water color, often related to increasing
dissolved organic matter (DOM) and carbon (DOC) content in freshwaters. Browning has …

Water quality is generally high in watercourses draining forested areas. However, forest
management can lead to detrimental effects on water quality and the aquatic environment …

Remote sensing (RS) has been suggested as a tool to spatially monitor the status of
peatland ecosystem functioning after restoration. However, there have been only a few …

Freshwaters of the boreal and temperate regions have experienced increased browning
during the last decades. Browning, or brownification, is mostly driven by increased organic …

In this review, we draw together the research on the two-way connection of streams and their
riparian forests of the boreal zone from ecological points of view. Although the knowledge …

Abstract Total Organic Carbon (TOC) concentrations in stream waters from peat-covered
catchments have increased over the last 15–25 years, resulting in large-scale brownification …

Peatlands have been degrading globally, which is increasing pressure on restoration
measures and monitoring. New monitoring methods are needed because traditional …

Nordic water bodies face multiple stressors due to human activities, generating diffuse
loading and climate change. The 'green shift'towards a bio-based economy poses new …

Drainage intensity and forest management in peatlands affect carbon dioxide (CO 2)
emissions to the atmosphere and export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to water …
