Vegetation task card =__ By Gabriel Collet, Nicholas Liondos and Curtis Byrum. __=

=Vegetation activity card=
 * =Trees and plants play a vital role in the health of our waterways.=
 * =Removing trees allows more water to reach the groundwater system.=
 * =Vegetation protects the fragile river banks from collapsing and forms a buffer between land and the waterway.=
 * =Plants in and around the water provide habitats for animals, as well as shading the river and slowing the flow.=

1. __What does the tree help to do?__
It helps not only humans but animals, bugs and other creatures breath air.

2. __ What might happen if the tree was removed? __
All the roots would be gone and the and there wouldn't be any deep water for all the other trees.

3. __What is...__
.condensation - When the water vapour turns cold it formulates a cloud. .transpiration - When the water vapour is sucked up into the sky from trees, plants and flowers. .evaporation - When water vapour is sucked into the sky from a catchment, lake or ocean. .precipitation - When the vapour is returned into the environment.

4 . __Our own definition of transipiration.__
Transpiration is when a plant loses water, mainly through stomata ( see stoma ) of leaves. Darkness, internal water deficit, and extremes of temperature tend to close stomata and decrease transpiration; illumination, ample water supply, and optimum temperature cause stomata to open and increase transpiration.

5. __Plants along a river are important because__
__ Why are trees along the river so important? __
 * Wetland trees are important because-
 * Names of three common wetland plants-
 * These plants are able to live in wetlands because-
 * What would happen if these plants were removed-

7. __Wetland Plants are specail because...__
They adapt to their environment which makes them able to live in water and in very wet soil. = =

8. __Three common species of the wetland plants__
Cattails, bulrushes and sedges.

9. __What makes these plants able to survive in the marshy ground of a wetland ﻿__
They are plants that are able to adapt to their conditions.

10. __What might happen if these plants were removed__
The plants would die and erosion would come and effect the wetlands.
