Climate change will hit peat bogs not so much from greater heat but from the reduced precipitation that comes with the heat
Climate change is about more than simply warming, and these other effects should not be overlooked.
Ready and prepared: climate change may favour the expansion of the invasive species Carpobrotus edulis
Rising temperatures and decreasing levels of precipitation can magnify the invasive potential of this South African plant that has already taken over temperate coasts around the world.

Many mangrove restorations fail. Is there a better way?
These carbon-hoarding, coastline-protecting forests are sponges for greenhouse gases. Doing plantings right and involving local communities are key to saving them.

Microclimates in herb patches can provide refuges for overheating insects
Research shows that patches of flowering plants can provide crucial shade during heatwaves, even in surprisingly small patches.
Hedgerows act as wildlife corridors for the wildlife that cannot walk
Hedgerows may provide habitat for forest plants to colonise to travel in Europe's patchwork woodland.
