Continuous cover forestry may solve many problems in the management of peatland forests, provided that the peatland water level can be regulated by means of the tree stand. If the water level does not rise too close to the peat surface or fall too deep in the peat layer, ditch cleaning can be avoided and negative climate and water quality impacts mitigated.
