Long-term impacts of forest ditching on non-aquatic biodiversity: conservation perspectives for a novel ecosystem.

Artificial drainage (ditching) is widely used to increase timber yield in northern forests. When the drainage systems are maintained, their environmental impacts are likely to accumulate over time and along accompanying management, notably after logging when new forest develops on decayed peat.
