The Krycklan Catchment Study (KCS) provides a unique field infrastructure for hillslope to landscape-scale research on short- and long-term ecosystem dynamics in boreal landscapes. The site is designed for process-based research assessing the role of external drivers including forest management, climate change, and long-range pollutant transport on forests, mires, soils, streams, lakes, and groundwater. The overarching objectives of KCS are to (1) provide a state-of-the-art infrastructure for experimental and hypothesis-driven research, (2) maintain a collection of high-quality, long-term climatic, biogeochemical, hydrological, and environmental data, and (3) support the development of models and guidelines for research, policy, and management.
