Climate change impact on water quality: Model results from Southern Sweden
Article Abstract:
Nitrogen leaching from arable-soil, water discharge and nitrogen retention was modeled in Ronnea catchment starting from six regional climate change scenarios and biological response was studied in the eutrophic lake Ringsjon. The results were compared to similar studies on other catchments, which showed that the impact of water quality was similar but quantities varied due to the different transport pattern due to less-pronounced seasonal variations in the hydrology.

Modeling the impact of potential wetlands on phosphorus retention in a Swedish catchment
Article Abstract:
Wetlands, in southern Sweden, are constructed to remove nitrogen (N) in agricultural catchments and the possible effects of such wetlands on riverine phosphorus (P) is estimated using input-output data from three well-monitored wetlands. Catchment scales indicate that the wetlands are more efficient as traps for P than for N and this may motivate the construction of wetlands for P removal far upstream from catchment outlet.
