How can diffuse pollution into lowland wetlands be reduced?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Nutrient pollution is a major cause of decline in lowland peatlands via both waterborne (surface and groundwater) and aerial deposition. Are buffer zones effective and how extensive should they be? Source-pathway- receptor studies are required to determine best practice. This is likely to be site-specific due to varying hydrological conditions although a general review of practice elsewhere may lead to insights.
Keywords (discipline, other): Pollution, lowland wetlands, nutrient pollution, peatlands, source-pathway, source pathway, hydrology, geography

How can earth observation technology/ remote sensing and ground based measures be used to monitor ecosystem condition more comprehensively than currently?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
We need this evidence to build a monitoring strategy for Wales that is capable of reporting on aspects of resilience across the whole landscape and which can support transformational management change.

How can incentives for using nature-based solutions, such changes to land management, improve water efficiency?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Restoration of upstream peatland will reduce runoff and improve base flows during dry periods. This will increase dilution of contaminants and reduce impacts on aquatic ecology and need for intense treatment at water treatment works.

Mountains, moorland, and heath
Freshwater
Land use and soil
Enclosed farmland
Energy
