Virtual landscape-scale restoration of altered channels helps us understand the extent of impacts to guide future ecosystem management

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Hydrological connectivity is a key factor for nutrient cycling, water quality and quantity, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity (Kuglerová et_al 2014; Laudon et_al 2016; Kritzberg et_al 2020). Artificial channels, on the contrary, usually do not follow the natural channel initiation process and are introduced by various anthropogenic activities, e_g, in the Swedish landscape through ditching or straightening of natural channels.
