100 ecological questions

The latest issue of the Journal of Applied Ecology contains an interesting article:
The identification of 100 ecological questions of high policy relevance in the UK. Ecologists hope the list will have a major impact on both science and policy and in the press release they liken the list to the 23 mathematical problems David Hilbert posed at the Second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900. This list had a major impact on mathematics throughout the twentieth century.

The list is interesting to browse through (the link above takes you to the complete paper) because it really does help to highlight how little we know in ecology.
