Concluding remarks from ICP IMWith measured N deposition exceeding the empirical critical load (CL) has eutrophication effects on biotaRelease of sulphur that had accumulated in the past with effects in surface waters No widespread regional increases in nitrate concentrations in surface waters despite ongoing N accumulation in catchmentsMercury is increasing in the forest floor and mineral soil with hazardous effects on biological activity and also providing extended possibilities for methylation and releases to surface waters
