Multiple stressors in small streams in the forestry context of Fennoscandia:the effects in time and space
Abstract In this paper we describe how forest management practices in Fennoscandian countries, namely Sweden and Finland, expose streams to multiple stressors over space and time. In this region, forestry includes several different management actions and we explore how these may successively disturb...
