Abstract Here, we use a unique long‐term data set on total organic carbon ( TOC ) fluxes, its climatic drivers and effects of land management from a large boreal watershed in northern Finland. TOC and runoff have been monitored at several sites in the Simojoki watershed (3160 km 2 ) since the early...
