Comparing the hydrological performance of an irrigated native vegetation green roof with a conventional Sedum spp. green roof in New York City. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 The objective of this study was to compare the hydrological performance of an irrigated, 127 mm deep green roof, planted with vegetation native to the New York City area, to a conventional, non-irrigated, 100 mm deep green roof, planted with drought ...

Transformation of Plant to Resource Acquisition Under High Nitrogen Addition Will Reduce Green Roof Ecosystem Functioning [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Ecosystem engineering, such as green roof, provides numerous key ecosystem functions dependent on both plants and environmental changes. In the recent years, global nitrogen (N) deposition has become a hot topic with the intensification of anthropogenic ...

Two Green Roof Detention Models Applied in Two Green Roof Systems [PDF]
Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2022 A two-stage physically-based detention model has been developed for green roof systems. Vertical flow in the substrate is represented by the Richards equation, and horizontal flow in the underlying drainage layer is modeled by the Saint Venant equation.
