“…The largest growth responses to DNM were observed in Scots pine stands where the pre-treatment GWD was 25-30 cm or shallower, while in stands where it was deeper than 35-40 cm there were minor growth increases. Sarkkola et al (2012) also observed high variability in growth responses to DNM in stands where the pre-treatment GWD was 20-35 cm, concluding that other factors also strongly influence the optimal timing for DNM to obtain adequate growth responses. The growth responses reported by averaged 0.6 m 3 ha -1 yr -1 at sites in northern Finland, and 1.1 m 3 ha -1 yr -1 at sites in southern Finland, during the 20-year effect period.…”

“…In a further subsequent study of the experimental material used by Ahti and Päivänen (1997) and Lauhanen and Ahti (2001), Sarkkola et al (2012) found that the 20-year growth response, in terms of increases in average annual volume growth and relative volume growth, were negatively related to the GWL before the DNM. The largest growth responses to DNM were observed in Scots pine stands where the pre-treatment GWD was 25-30 cm or shallower, while in stands where it was deeper than 35-40 cm there were minor growth increases.…”

“…Spruce swamp forests have been commonly drained due to their large timber production potential (Päivänen and Hånell 2012). In Finnish peatlands drained for forestry, the water table typically lies at -30 to -40 cm, which is considered deep enough to sustain a well growing tree stand by means of transpiration and canopy interception (Sarkkola et al 2010;Sarkkola et al 2012). Lowering of the water table increases the rate of peat mineralization and CO 2 emissions; however, increased tree growth and litter production in conditions with a lower water table can fix more CO 2 (Ojanen et al 2013).…”
