What is the impact of emerging technologies for renewable energy on the natural environment in Wales and its ecosystem services?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Renewable Energy should be a nature based solution that continously supports the ecosystem. For instance green hydrogen production from offshore wind could have impact on the marine environment especially on a commercial scale despite it being best form of hydrogen production.

What is the impact of exempt abstractions on water availability?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Abstractions below 20m3/day do not require a licence. We need to know the amount of water (legally abstracted but unlicensed) to identify potential impact hotspots.
There are 15k+ exempt abstractions in Wales registered with local authorities and drinking waer inspectorate.

What is the impact of including previously exempt abstractions on local water balance calculations?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Previously, not all exempt abstractions over 20m3/d have been included in resource availability mapping. Inclusion will help to identify supply/demand hotspots and potential failure to meet Water Framework Directive standards.

What is the impact of invasive non-native species of Interest to Wales on multiple ecosystems and the ecosystem services they provide in Wales currently?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Review the current research findings on the current impact and predicted future impacts of invasive non-native species on ecosystems and their ecosystem services. To be repeated as more species are included.
Research from other regions or countries may not reflect the impact that invasive non-native species have when they establish in Wales due to differences in topography, climate, etc.

What is the impact of invasive non-native species on the Welsh economy and provisioning ecosystem services?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
As assessment of the economic impact of invasive non-native species in Wales is out of date by 10 years. Also, the impact particularly in relation to Japanese knotweed is likely to have increased considerably and this is not reflected in the current estimated costs.
Keywords (discipline, other): Economics, ecosystem services, Invasive non-native species, Ecosystem resilience, Japanese knotweed
