Reviewed the ecological literature on
prairie and grassland communities with
specific reference to habitat templates from
stressed environmental conditions and examined analogs of prairie-based vegetation
on twenty-one existing green roofs.

The use of green roof technology in
urban agriculture has the potential to alleviate some of these problems, without
adversely affecting the benefits provided by
urban agriculture

fall-installed green roof. HortScience, 47
(12), 1175-1781. http://hortsci.ashspublications.org/content/47/12/1775.full
The objectives of this study were to
identify both the effect of P and K fertilizer rates on Sedum spp. survival over the
first winter and the response of Sedum spp.
growth to fertilizer rates when applied at
installation.

Optical properties of the roofs covering
materials were experimentally measured,
and the thermal transmittance of the roofs
was experimentally evaluated.

and substrate. Ecological Engineering, 49,

The study evaluated the effects of severe drought (113 days without water)
on growth, water use and survival of five
succulent species (Sedum pachyphyllum, S.
clavatum, S. spurium, Disphyma crassifolium
and Carpobrotus modestus) planted in three
different green roof substrates (growing
media) differing in water holding capacity.

Extensive living roof substrate design to
promote storm-water management while
balancing structural load and maintaining
nonirrigated plant cover is investigated
through linked laboratory and field experiments in Auckland, New Zealand.

The study aims to quantify the effectiveness of four green roof species – creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera), red
fescue (Festuca rubra), ribwort plantain
(Plantago lanceolata) and sedum (Sedum
album) – at capturing particulate matter
smaller than 10 μm (PM10).
