Farmers can help slow climate change by mixing native grasses into croplands, restoring wetlands and raising perennial crops. These strategies also conserve soil and water and build new markets.

As sea levels rise along the Atlantic coast, saltwater is intruding inland, killing trees and turning coastal forests into marshes. Should scientists try to slow the process, or work with it?

Britain's native amphibians are in steep decline thanks to wetlands disappearing and ponds drying up.

Wetlands in drylands seem impossible, but their benefits to people and wildlife are very real.

Peat beds around the world hold huge quantities of carbon and keep it from warming the planet. But rising temperatures and over-use could turn them from a brake on climate change into an accelerant.

Flooding isn't always destructive – it can be part of our toolkit for restoring ecosystems.

Birds found along the Gulf Coast have evolved to ride out hurricanes and tropical storms. But with development degrading the marshes where they live, it's getting harder for them to bounce back.

Storks – those harbingers of new life – are breeding in Britain again.

Dwindling numbers of muskrat in North America aren't due to hunting and trapping, research shows, but rather drying delta.
