What interventions are needed to increase the use of Welsh grown timber in construction in Wales, to support decarbonisation and a regenerative economy?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
The use of more Welsh grown timber in construction would generate multiple ecosystem services and well-being benefits. Understanding exactly how all players need to come together to achieve this would help inform future policy and delivery mechanisms.

What is driving the decline of Kittiwake in Wales?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
To inform our understanding of and advice on building resilient marine ecosystems. Kittiwake is an iconic seabird in Wales and a feature of a number of SSSIs and Skomer and Skokholm and the Seas off Pembrokeshire SPA. According to the most recent results from the seabird census there has been a 40% decline in Kittiwake populations in Wales. The main theory is that it is climate change driven but Kittiwakes eat similar prey species to auks which have doubled their population over the last 15-20 years. A project is needed to collate existing information as well as setting up various monitoring e.g. camera traps, which could give information about numerous colonies around Wales

What is restricting the recovery of arctic-alpine plants? Have there been genetic bottlenecks, is there a need to boost or migrate populations, or do we need land management changes?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Wales supports a distinctive suite of arctic-alpine flora and fauna. While threatened by climate change, its resilience and ability to resist or respond to change is compromised by past and present landuse, pollution, and isolation. Ecological studies of these species are required to determine the key factors to address.

What is the baseline biodiversity within urban areas of Wales? And what ecosystem services does urban biodiversity provide?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
To understand the ecosystem services provided by urban ecosystems we need to know the baseline levels of biodiversity. Biodiversity in urban ecosystems is often overlooked. Reliable and replicable estimates are needed in place of acedotal information to provide us with the evidence to enhance or maintain biodiversity within our urban ecosystems. Understanding this at all levels of biodiversity (ecosystem, species, genetic) would be desirable.

What is the baseline extent of traditional orchards, parkland, hedgerows, veteran trees and arable plant assemblages?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Stocks of natural resources are a basic measure of sustainable management of natural resources. The majority of the habitat extent data is based on partial surveys such as for parkland, traditional orchards, extensive arable, hedgerows, out of date surveys such as for improved and semi-improved grassland or has no baseline extend data at all such as for wood pasture, veteran trees.
