The effects of drainage maintenance on the nutrient contents in peat and Scots pine needles on drained pine mires were studied. The material consisted of twelve Finnish field experiments. Drainage maintenance (increasing ditching intensity; no treatment at all, mere ditch cleaning, mere complementary ditching, and both of them together) was carried out in 1982-1985. The needles were sampled in 1994-1995 and peat in 1996. There were great differences in the site types and consequently also in the peat and needle nutrient concentrations between the experiments. The needle Mn concentrations demonstrated a fairly good drainage status in all the treatments. Drainage maintenance had only minor effects on the nutrient status of peat and needles. Ditch cleaning decreased magnesium, manganese and zink amounts in the surface peat. Increasing the intensity of drainage maintenance increased the 100-needle dry mass, but decreased the needle boron concentrations. Peat and needle nitrogen concentrations increased slightly (not significantly) along with the increased intensity in drainage maintenance. The peat nutrients classified correctly 83.7% of the fertility classes for drained peatlands.

Widespread drainage measures, which were carried out mainly in the period 1950-
1990 on Finnish mires, have had significant climatic consequences, part of them being
temporary, part permanent. The aim of this study was to prepare charts of these climatic
effects by combining three sources of knowledge: (I) the climatic effect of drainage (e, °C),
as given by (Solantie 1994, 1998) for a 100% mire area in the climatically most affecting
stage, (2) fresh grid-square statistics of the proportion of drained mires compared
with the total area, and (3) annual statistics of the proportion of drained mires in various
stages having characteristic climatic effects, compiled by the Finnish Forest Research
Institute. Three charts show the maximum cooling effect of peatland drainage in Finland
during the first 15 years after the drainage in the period 1973-1982, as drained
mires in such a stage of drainage were then most common. Two charts show the warming
effect after successful afforestation and canopy closure; the canopy acts as a radiation
shelter and a mixing generator for the air beneath. In the middle boreal natural
zone, that most heavily drained, the mean monthly minimum temperatures in the period
1973-1982 were reduced by 1.5°C and the yearly frost-free period was shortened by 17
days. As a result of successful afforestation, the annual minimum temperature in the
middle boreal zone will be raised by 2°C to 3°C by the year 2005.
