I'm not sure if timber harvest in flooded lands (no drainage) is doable with forestry machinery, but if so, yes, that would be a better alternative. Also, larger buffers between logging sites and open water, selective harvest, and species diversification! Thanks for your comment ๐
๐งช Northern freshwater is turning brown from elevated organic carbon + iron. Peatland drainage (for forestry ๐ฒ) and climate change are impacting water quality, recreation ๐, and water treatment costs ๐ฐ. BUT sustainable forest management can combat this issue!
