Zusammenfassung:	During the past ten years the National Swedish Environment Protection Board has supported ecological studies on the impact of heavymetal pollution on coniferous forest ecosystems. This report concludes studies on the effects of deposited copper and zinc, emitted from an isolated brassworks, on vegetation, soil biological and biochemical processes and the diversity, abundance and performance of soil fauna and microflora. The Gusum case study is probably the most comprehensive work of this kind ever performed on a forest ecosystem polluted by heavy metals.
