Coastal marshes, also frequently called salt marshes, are partially flooded wetlands that are inundated by salt water brought in by the tides but can vary in salinity levels.

Forests provide food, fuel, oxygen, clean water, erosion control, and health benefits to people.

Grasslands, often called prairies in the United States, are habitats where the dominant vegetation type is grass.

Mangrove ecosystems are a form of coastal wetlands found in tropical and subtropical regions. These systems support halophytic (salt-loving) trees, shrubs, and other plants, and are dominated by mangrove trees.

Peatlands are a type of inland wetland where waterlogged soils prevent plant material from fully decomposing. There are two types of peatlands: tropical peatlands, characterized by high precipitation and temperature, and northern peatlands, which are interspersed among boreal forests and coastal areas.

Sagebrush habitats exist across the western United States in areas with hot, dry summers and cool, moist winters. They are dominated by big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) vegetation and perennial grasses.

Seagrasses are flowering plants that grow entirely underwater and form dense meadows in shallow areas. Seagrass restoration refers to any activities that help return seagrass ecosystems to as close as possible to their state before anthropogenic disturbances.

Forest thinning refers to removing trees in a forest stand to allow space for other trees and plants to grow.

Urban greening is a general term used to describe efforts to renature urban areas by installing various types of green infrastructure.
