•Sweden is a very sparsely
populated
and forest dominated country.
•The environmental
problems are small in comparison to many other countries in Europe.
•Nutrient leakage from
agriculture, especially nitrogen, affects coastal areas and also
rivers and lakes negatively.
•Surface
run-off of phosphorus can be a problem causing eutrophication, mainly in inland
waters, where phosphorus is generally the growth limiting factor.
