The effect of forest cutting on the quality of groundwater in large aquifers in Finland
The effects of forest cuttings on the level of the groundwater table and the quality of groundwater in large aquifers in Finland were studied by interpreting the long-term data from three groundwater monitoring stations together with information about the forest management history. Groundwater nitra...
