Description

A recent report titled "Defining saltmarsh for potential inclusion in the Land Use, Land Use Change 
and Forestry (LULUCF) Inventory" by Burden et al. (in review) to the UK Blue Carbon Evidence 
Partnership details a roadmap for saltmarsh to be included in the GHG inventory. One of the key 
data requirements is "Step 5: Synthesis of GHG and C flux data from published work applicable 
to and collected from UK saltmarsh habitat, and compilation of database". This project will cover 
Step 5 of the Road map, to provide a living database of saltmarsh GHG datasets needed to 
advance our progress along the road for estimating GHG emissions from saltmarshes in the UK 
for use in the UK Saltmarsh Carbon Code and inclusion of Blue Carbon habitats in the UK GHG 
inventory.

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.
