@science.nature.orgRestoring water to dried peatlands can help keep fires at bay.
Research from Indonesia found that peatland rewetting with canal blocks reduces fire risk, lowers emissions, and can deliver returns that exceed restoration costs. See how https://nature.ly/4hAyebx
@nature.orgReposted by @science.nature.orgAbout 1,000 miles south of Hawaii, there is an extraordinary coral reef surrounding Palmyra Atoll. While these corals have experienced their own heat challenges and coral bleaching, they also have many lessons to share. Fish are friends, coral has helpers and sharks rule.
@science.nature.orgThe effects of climate change don't stop when a flood recedes or a wildfire burns out. The latest edition of TNC Science Insights examines how climate extremes can reshape ecosystems and how Indigenous-led conservation in the Great Bear Sea is helping safeguard coastal ecosystems. nature.ly/4j481mO
@waterloggedscience.bsky.socialReposted by @science.nature.orgA glorious time on Dził Nchaa Sí'an (Mt. Graham) this week visiting sacred waters, beautiful sky, and the first taste of fall. #waterConservation @science.nature.org @nature.org
@science.nature.orgTechnology is strongest when it supports local leadership. In Arnhem Land, Indigenous rangers, community members, and researchers explored how digital tools can strengthen Indigenous-led stewardship, helping communities shape a stronger future.

@science.nature.orgNature supports more than biodiversity. The latest edition of TNC Science Insights explores why ecosystem loss can create risks for food, water, and economic security, plus community-led conservation in Zambia and new research mapping hidden reefs in the Great Lakes.

@science.nature.orgThanks for following along today! Grasslands are diverse, resilient ecosystems that benefit both people and nature. I hope you've learned something new and are inspired to visit a grassland near you. -Marissa A.
@science.nature.orgOur TNC science in MN, ND and SD is critical to delivering on our 2030 protection and improved management of lands outcome. Our science tells us where and how we need to take action to get the highest quality restoration and management acres for nature and people. -Marissa A.
@science.nature.orgGrasslands are incredibly beautiful places, but difficult to capture in a photo. You have to get creative and immersed in the plants. I grew up in Missouri, the Show Me state. Show me your grasslands! -Marissa A.
@science.nature.orgRestoration is important for climate adaptation AND is an extremely time intensive and costly endeavor. This data can guide the investment of restoration resources to places that have multiple benefits, improving outcomes with limited funds. Check out more here https://nature.ly/4z34Al8 -Marissa A.
@science.nature.orgRestoration prospects were identified where cropland overlaps areas with limited habitat connectivity. Water quality benefits were strongest in Iowa and southern Minnesota, phosphorus retention peaked in the Red River Valley, and pollination and carbon benefits occurred across the region. -Marissa A
@science.nature.orgThrough funding from the Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, we worked with partners to identify where restoring crop land to grassland would reconnect habitats as well as retain sediment, phosphorus and nitrogen to improve water quality. https://nature.ly/4xMfUAP

@science.nature.orgGrasslands have contributed to amazing farmland in many parts of the world. Science can tell us where to restore grassland to benefit biodiversity connectivity and water quality through sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus retention. https://nature.ly/4rDpu7J
-Marissa A.
@science.nature.orgI love grasslands because they are diverse, dynamic, and deeply linked with people. People and grasslands have supported each other for time immemorial. Restoring this relationship is key to conservation. Today I’ll highlight science helping us do that, even as we face climate change. -Marissa A.
@science.nature.orgToday's takeover starts here! Hear from Marissa Ahlering as she introduces herself and explains why grasslands are one of the world's most overlooked and important ecosystems.
@lukeaparsons.bsky.socialReposted by @science.nature.orgYou've probably heard wildfire smoke is bad for you, but how bad? Our new paper in Sci Rep shows even low-level wildfire-specific PM2.5 (10–50 µg/m³) is linked to more hospital encounters (e.g., heart attacks, heart failure, AFib, cardiac, COPD & PE).
@science.nature.org
@science.nature.orgTomorrow at 1 p.m. ET, we're handing the keys to grassland scientist Marissa Ahlering 🔑🎙️. Follow along as she shares why prairies matter, how science is helping balance agriculture and biodiversity, and why some of the world's most overlooked ecosystems deserve a closer look.
@science.nature.orgBuilding the energy projects we need starts with better planning.
TNC Science's Clean Energy Compass helps planners and developers identify climate, conservation and community considerations early, helping avoid delays and improve outcomes for people and nature. https://nature.ly/4xIYJ3g
@science.nature.orgDecades of science are helping guide the future of forest restoration. The latest edition of TNC Science Insights explores a new resource for restoring Appalachian red spruce forests, plus shorebird conservation and new insights into how plants respond to climate change.

It was a treat to wander between old growth forest stands, overstocked stands that were clear-cut and replanted, and thinned restored stands
