Lohko 23
Etu-Lassila
Block basic information
Area: 6.23 hectares
Soil type: rich loamy clay (rmHeS)
There are water management problems on the block, located north of the forest patch on the block’s southern edge. The water management problems on the southern edge are due to a water pipe excavation done in the 90s. The block also has a long-term study measuring carbon sequestration.
Renovation works: In the summer of 2020, the edge ditch of the forest patch was cleared and new drainage was dug for a distance of 25 m near the western corner junction.
