Ten Bee Species New to Green Roofs in the Chicago Area [PDF]
, 2018 Green roofs increasingly provide habitat for many insects in urban environments. Pollinators such as bees may utilize foraging and nesting resources provided by green roofs but few studies have documented which species occur in these novel habitats. This

Evaluating the Cooling Performance of Green Roofs Under Extreme Heat Conditions
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 The local rise in urban temperature is increasingly exacerbated due to the combined effect of urban heat islands and global climate change. Numerous studies have shown that green roofs (GRs) have great potential for facilitating urban heat mitigation ...

Fine‐scale substrate heterogeneity in green roof plant communities: The constraint of size
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Heterogeneity–diversity relationship (HDR) is commonly shown to be positive in accordance with classic niche processes. However, recent soil‐based studies have often found neutral and even negative HDRs. Some of the suggested reasons for this discrepancy
