Acid sulphate soils in Finland

• The largest AS areas in Europe

are located in Finland

• AS fields have high economic

value due to their high yields

• Acid loads from fields are

hazardous to aqueous

ecosystems

• Large fish kills have occurred

after dry summers (e.g. 2006)

Aim of study

WORKSHOP: Future of drainage under environmental challenges and emerging technologies

Can off-site hazards of AS soils be mitigated by

controlled drainage and subirrigation ?

-> Hypothesis: acid loads decrease

Do controlled drainage and subirrigation result in

better yields ?

-> Hypothesis: yields increase

Conclusions

WORKSHOP: Future of drainage under environmental challenges and emerging technologies

• The off-site hazards of AS soils can be slightly

mitigated by controlled drainage and subirrigation

-> Effects in dry summer are unknown

• Yields were higher only in one summer

-> Effects in dry summer are unknown
