As trees choked by saltwater die along low-lying coasts, marshes may move in. Like giant bones planted in the earth, clusters of tree trunks, stripped clean of bark, are appearing along the Chesapeake Bay on the United States’ mid-Atlantic coast. They are ghost forests: the haunting remains of what were once stands of cedar and pine. Since the late 19th century, an ever-widening swath of these trees have died along the shore. And they won’t be growing back.

The mortar, pestle and cutting board in your kitchen are modern versions of manos and metates—ancient cooking implements found in archaeological sites around the world. A mano is a hand-held stone tool used with a metate to grind and pulverize food materials from plants and animals. The metate is a large, flat piece of stone or a depression ground into a bedrock surface.

The $1-billion dollar plan will primarily aid poultry farmers—but it will also reduce regulations on backyard coops to alleviate pressure on the egg industry.

Absolute darkness. Crushing pressure. Icy cold. The Pacific Ocean’s midnight zone—between 3,300 and 13,100 feet deep—is not a welcoming place. But that hasn’t deterred one delicate, baffling “mystery mollusk” from setting up shop in this inhospitable water column.
