A two-stage storage routing model for green roof runoff detention [PDF]
, 2013 Green roofs have been adopted in urban drainage systems to control the total quantity and volumetric flow rate of runoff. Modern green roof designs are multi-layered, their main components being vegetation, substrate and, in almost all cases, a ...

Green roofs provide habitat for urban bats
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2015 Understanding bat use of human-altered habitat is critical for developing effective conservation plans for this ecologically important taxon. Green roofs, building rooftops covered in growing medium and vegetation, are increasingly important conservation

Soil microarthropod community dynamics in extensive green roofs [PDF]
, 2013 Green roofs are of increasing interest to ecologists, engineers and architects, as cities grow and aim to become more sustainable. They could be exploited to improve urban biodiversity and ecosystem services, yet almost nothing is known about them from a

Avian response to green roofs in urban landscapes in the Midwestern USA
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 Green roofs present an opportunity to provide large areas of vegetation that could serve as bird habitat in urban areas. Point‐count surveys at 12 green‐roof study locations in the midwestern United States were conducted during the bird breeding season ...

Evaluating different machine learning methods to simulate runoff from extensive green roofs
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 . Green roofs are increasingly popular measures to permanently reduce or delay stormwater runoff. Conceptual and physically-based hydrological models are powerful tools to estimate their performance. However, physically-based models are associated with a
