Bottom line... Ditch Network Maintenance (DNM) doesn't help tree growth and increases drought risk.

It was fun to be a part of the research in the little way I could. Glad you think it helped! And it’s my pleasure to promote it. It’s important to better understand how seemingly small changes in policy can have such big changes on the ground.

With climate change upon us fish need need wide buffer zones of mixed mature forest to keep rivers cool. Sweden is unprepared with < 5 m mean zones. River temps are now more often over 20°, critical for salmon and trout, lets put a proper green roof over our rivers.
