The thesis demonstrates that studying natural isotopes in groundwater can improve ecohydrological approaches needed to understand the functioning of peatland in relation to their landscapes. In four case studies a relatively simple, time-effective, and integrated approach is used to complete scientific assessment of the hydrological changes in peatland ecosystems caused by humans. The case studies focus on both regional- and local hydrological systems. The research provides a step forward for management for the areas studied in this thesis. The research shows that despite complications in interpreting the results, radiocarbon dating of peat and groundwater can be used successfully in order to understand the effects of interferences with the hydrology within the landscape
