 What is the current extent and distribution of the different forms of semi-natural grassland?

Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:

Stocks of natural resources is a basic measure of sustainable management of natural resources. The Phase 1 Habitat survey is old and remote sensing is mostly poor as recording grassland extent

Keywords (discipline, other): Semi-natural grassland
Mountains, moorland, and heath
Coastal margins
Biodiversity
Enclosed farmland
Ecosystem resilience

 What is the current extent and recent trends in coastal lagoon habitats?

Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:

Stocks of natural resources is a basic measure of sustainable management of natural resources. A number of saline lagoons and potential saline lagoons have been identified in Wales in 2000, this list now needs to be reviewed.

Keywords (discipline, other): Coastal margins
Ecosystem resilience
Biodiversity

 What is the current extent and recent trends of saltmarsh habitats inside and outside protected sites?

Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:

Stocks of natural resources is a basic measure of sustainable management of natural resources. The extent data for saltmarshs is relatively old, especially considering that this is a dynamic habitat.

Keywords (discipline, other): Coastal margins
Ecosystem resilience
Biodiversity
