Which is NOT a wetland conservation method?

The study of properties and movement of water within wetland habitats. Effects the amount of groundwater recharge or surface storage and productivity of the habitat. Check all that it includes.

Spongey tissue and channels within the leaves, stems and roots of plants allowing air to pass through providing oxygen for growth. Found in plants such as water lilies, rice, common or soft rush.

Are root structures found on cypress trees which protrude above the soil. While the function is officially unknown, they are thought to allow roots to access oxygen by sticking out of the water.

Are adaptations to allow aquatic plants to root in flooded areas but maintain leaves and flowers above water to achieve photosynthesis. Found in water lilies.

Are root structures which can grow out of the ground, down from the plant's stem and even above water surfaces. Exposed roots can take in oxygen. Are found in mangroves, tupelos & cypresses.
