People who are trying to fish – or manage the ecosystems – in darker waters may need to adapt to different water conditions.
Across Britain, ponds are quietly vanishing. Reviving them is one of the simplest ways to boost biodiversity and climate resilience.
The fight against Eurasian watermilfoil, an invasive aquatic plant in North American lakes, can be long and expensive, so must be carefully planned.
In Sackett v. EPA, a suit filed by two homeowners who filled in wetlands on their property, the Supreme Court has drastically narrowed the definition of which wetlands qualify for federal protection.
The swamp has not yet been drained everywhere.
Some species beat the big freeze with natural antifreeze in their blood.
The Supreme Court opens its 2022-2023 session with a high-profile case that has major implications for both wildlife and landowners.
If you’re hot, so are your four-legged neighbours.
Beavers in our landscapes have great potential to provide small-scale adaptations to climate change – if humans can figure out how to live with them.
The growing frequency of climate extremes affected human health and caused wide-scale damages to the ecosystems that people depend upon, including agriculture, fisheries and freshwater.
Britain’s native amphibians are in steep decline thanks to wetlands disappearing and ponds drying up.
Your local ducks (and other wild birds) will thank you.
New research sheds light on the unsung heroes of pollination.
Ponds create ‘insect chimneys’ which are a boon for hungry farmland birds.
Hundreds of thousands of lakes, rivers and streams in the Arctic exist only because of the permafrost that lies beneath them. The warming Arctic threatens to change that.
New research finds that farm ponds actually capture nitrous oxide; this finding can be useful in combatting climate change.
Ponds are good for more than just decorating the garden – they could be your best tool in fighting climate change.
As ponds dry up, so too does our connection to nature.
Pond life can recolonise from seeds and eggs which lie dormant in the soil.
