Short summary

Using the process-based model LandscapeDNDC, we successfully simulated the hydrological and carbon-cycle responses of a drained peatland ecosystem under control, rotational forestry and continuous cover forestry management. The developed framework provides a valuable tool for evaluating future management scenarios and supporting the development of forest management strategies aimed at achieving climate neutrality in peatland ecosystems.
