Representativity of CO2 Exchange on Extensive Green Roofs: Scaling From Leaf to Plant, and Plant to Roof Scale

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Urban green roofs have potential for local urban climate change mitigation, as they have been demonstrated to uptake carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. However, most roofs are too small to qualify for area‐integrating direct surface‐atmosphere exchange measurements using the eddy covariance technique (EC), resulting in sparse data on ...
