What is the impact of nutrient enrichment due to diffuse pollution and adjacent land use on the ground flora of woodlands in Wales?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
The ground flora of woodlands is particularly senstive to the effects of nutrient enrichment. An up-to-date assessment of nutrient enrichment extent, impacts, and risks would help inform future assessments of sustainable management of natural resources.

What is the impact of pesticide applications on soil fauna?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Soil fauna are vital to good soil condition. There are significant differences in soil fauna populations between highly productive land and semi-natural land, evidence from ERAMMP. How much do pesticides contribute to reductions in soil fauna? Where there is a significant impact, which pesticides are chiefly responsible?

What is the impact of public opinion on their use of local green space in urban areas of Wales?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
People need to access urban green space daily to remain well, but poorly managed urban green space deters people from using it. It also fails to deliver other ecosystem servies such as heat regulation and air pollution control. Systematic sampling and monitoring will show if urban green space is being managed sustainably

What is the impact of waste generated by households 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 impact of waste generated by the construction and demolition sectors 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.
SoNaRR 2020 has had to use Construction and Demolition National survey estimates that are now 8 years out of date. The Construction and Demolition sector accounted for the majority of waste generated in Wales in 2012 so this is a significant evidence gap in assessing Wales’ progress in reducing waste and increasing recovery.
