Description

The honey project is currently the only national (and multi-year) data set on environmental exposure of pollinators to pesticides. It has potential to form a key part of any post authorisation monitoring programme in the UK and is intended to be used to measure progress through the H4 programme and within the UK National Action Plan for the sustainable use of pesticides. To achieve this, further development is needed to ensure a suitable metric (or suite of metrics) are available to measure both spatial and temporal trends in pesticide exposure and risk. We also need to think about how we can maximise value from this data (e.g., how this work could feed into the regulatory process and how we could start to link exposure to effects). This thinking forms the core purpose of this project.

RDE628 Analysis of agri-environment pond eDNA samples for pond metric developme

Natural England's AES Evidence Programme has commissioned a survey of over 100 ponds, including 40 buffered and 40 unbuffered ponds covering both arable and improved grassland systems. All ponds are not actively managed to assess whether management of the surrounding land parcel is sufficient to ensure good quality ponds. The ponds will be surveyed using the modified PondNet environmental survey and wetland plant survey, and water quality analysis will also be undertaken. This will enable PSYM analysis to determine if the pond is in good condition based on its ecology, whilst the water quality analysis will illustrate the efficacy of buffers. Water samples will also be taken from each pond for DNA analysis. In collaboration with partners at the Environment Agency, Cefas, Freshwater Habitats Trust, UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, and Bowburn Consultancy, Natural England will combine DNA data from the AES ponds with DNA data from our national, long-term programmes which survey ponds every year (e.g. District Level Licensing, England Ecosystem Survey, GenePools, etc.) to develop novel metrics for assessing the ecological condition of ponds to enable landscape-scale decision-making. These data will contribute to natural capital accounting and 25 Year Environment Plan indicators, monitoring and evaluation of policy interventions including Environmental Land Management scheme, Nature Recovery and Net Gain, ground data for Living England, and remote sensing applications for condition assessment.
