瑞典被人们誉为“森林之国”。这个国家的人口不到九百万,但在四千一百多万公顷土地上竟有二千三百五十万公顷森林,平均每个瑞典人有近三公顷森林,而世界人均只有一公顷。据调查,近百年来瑞典森林资源比一个世纪前增加了两倍。现在森林木材资源已达二十六亿立方米,是瑞典重要经济支柱,也是外汇收入的最大来源。瑞典之所以成为世界“森林之国”,因为适宜的气候为瑞典林业的发展提供了良好条件。但 Sweden has been hailed as “the country of forests.” With a population of less than nine million, the country has 23.5 million hectares of forest on more than 41 million hectares of land, an average of nearly three hectares of forest per Swede, compared with only one hectare in the world . According to the survey, Sweden’s forest resources in the past century have more than doubled from a century ago. Now, forest timber resources have reached 2.6 billion cubic meters, which is an important economic pillar of Sweden and the largest source of foreign exchange earnings.
