What is the impact of waste generated by the industrial sector in Wales on greenhouse gas emmisions and ecological footprint within Wales?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Current waste data sources are limited in terms of providing comprehensive coverage across all waste producers on a regular basis. In addition, some data sources such as surveys, have limited accuracy owing to their voluntary nature and we do not have data on all waste managed in Wales for example because some activities are exempt from reporting to the regulator.

What is the importance of varied root depths and the role of deep rooted perennials on carbon storage and sequestration in semi-natural grassland?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Semi-natural grasslands support a greate range of species with a much greater range of root depths than improved, intenively managed grasslands. Deep rooting species (some go to >2m) have a role in carbon storage at depth, but more research is needed.

What is the long term impact of mowing blanket bog on mountains, moorland, and heath ecosystem resilience?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Drainage of blanket bog often led to an increase in ericoid, for example heather, cover/height and a decline in typical blanket bog breeding bird species for example curlew, golden plover, dunlin. Despite restoration of hydrology, ericoids continue to dominate while the bogs recover and mowing is advocated to control it, with potential to conflict with natural bog development. We need to assess the impact of mowing, which is not traditional in this habitat, on the long-term prospect for recovery.

What is the long term impact of mowing dwarf scrub heath on ecosystem resilience in mountains, moorland, and heath?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Dwarf shrub heath was often traditionally grazed and burnt, but with changes in grazing practice for example the loss of cattle and landowner reluctance to burn due to regulatory requirements, potential damage to wet heath and bog, and public perception, mowing is increasingly advocated to break up large swards and create firebreaks and access for stock. Lack of fire-induced Calluna germination coupled with mulching with unharvested material may change the nature of the vegetation. A review of current knowledge and possible experimental manipulation is required to enable appropriate advice to be provided.
