Freshwater
Freshwater habitats such as rivers and wetlands have high biodiversity, but this is being endangered by climate change, increasing the likelihood of floods and drought due to shifting rainfall patterns.
Professor Chris Spray, the lead author of the Freshwater chapter at the University of Dundee, said: "Protecting these endangered habitats would necessitate a 'wholescape' catchment solution that integrates ecological, cultural, and socioeconomic processes. Planting trees along riverbanks, for example, will preserve habitats by providing shelter and building thermal refuges, as well as slowing the flow of water to help mitigate flood risk."

Grazing grasslands by a diverse range of animals on the same landscape, such as sheep, cattle, horses, goats, and alpacas, will improve grassland sward diversity and greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions can also be reduced by switching from constant grazing to rotational or hybrid grazing.
