An Approach for Including Consideration of Stream Water Dissolved Organic Carbon in Long Term Forest Planning
The objective of this study was to add to a traditional forest planning model by incorporating some consideration of the effects of forestry on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in streams over time. In a case study, for a watershed in northern Sweden, we present the best possible soluti...
