Questions should:

address important gaps in knowledge;
be answerable through a realistic research project within a reasonable time horizon with reasonable resources (for example, by a team of 5 people in 3 years);
have an answer that does not depend on value judgments and that can be answered through research;
not be answerable by “it all depends,” “yes” or “no”;
have identifiable outcomes that can be fed into the policy making process.

Need help expressing your questions in plain language?
Here are three examples:

What actions are required to recreate the full range of coastal landscapes, habitats and species distributions to compensate for their loss, for example as a result of sea-level rise?
What will be the ecological impacts of changing agricultural patterns in response to climate change?
How does climate change interact with other ecological pressures (e.g. invasive species and habitat fragmentation) to create synergistic effects?
