What is the distribution and impact of non-quarantine pest and disease outbreaks throughout Wales and how is this affected by climate change?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Declining tree health, due to climate change and compromised biosecurity arising from global trade, is a significant risk to future ecosystem service provision, resilience and well-being. We do not know enough about the distribution and impact of non-quarantine pest and disease outbreaks across Wales. More information would help inform futuer policy and operational mangaement decisions.

What is the distribution and size of the landbank (agricultural land) available for recycling nutrients or organic materials?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
To assess whether soils are sustainably managed and used now and in the future. To prevent overapplication of materials and pollution through better land use planning.

What is the effect of 1. different management regimes, 2. different sward structures, 3. different grassland types, 4. species diversity, 5. different species groups for example legumes, forbs, grasses, on water regulation in semi-natural grassland?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Grasslands can play an important role in water regulation, but the evidence is unclear how it is effected by specific management practises, and how much it varies under different forms of grassland and different levels of plant diversity, bearing in mind that species vary in their capacity to absorb and retain water.

What is the effect of extinction debt and low genetic diversity caused by semi-natural grassland loss and fragmentation on uncommon or threatened semi-natural grassland species and which species are particularly vulnerable?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Diversity is a basic measure of sustainable management of natural resources. Due top past declines, many populations of Section 7 and other uncommon species are very small and highly fragmented, the effects of which are often unclear

What is the effect of tree species diversity on woodland productivity in Wales?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Tree species diversification is key to improving resilience but its impact on woodland productivity for timber in Wales is not well understood. This information would be helpful to suport discussions about timber’s role in supporting a regenerative economy.

What is the effect of using water efficiently on reduction in energy bills?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
In the UK 89% of household energy use is for heating water. Behavioural change to water use is likely to be more successful if linked to savings on energy bills.
