Urban agriculture in developed countries: a review (2013, background): “Most research has focused on thermal and energy benefits, reduction of storm water runoff, biodiversity impacts, and amelioration of air pollution (Theodosiou 2003; Wong et al. 2003; VanWoert et al. 2005; Getter and Rowe 2006; Mentens et al. 2006; Oberndorfer et al. 2007).”
- Green Roof Plant Responses to Different Substrate Types and Depths under Various Drought Conditions (2010, background): “Despite their shallow substrates, extensive green roofs have numerous benefits such as reducing the volume of runoff entering stormwater infrastructure (DeNardo et al., 2005; Liesecke, 1998; VanWoert et al., 2005a).”
- How “green” are the green roofs? Lifecycle analysis of green roof materials (2012, background): “Green roofs have a water retention capacity that contributes to control the quantity of runoff water that can go into the city ’ s sewer system [7,8,47].”
- Hydrological performance of extensive green roofs in New York City: observations and multi-year modeling of three full-scale systems (2013, methodology): “Evapotranspiration rates were found to increase due to a variety of factors, including: greater areal plant coverage (Berghage et al 2009, Morgan et al 2012), higher transpiring plants (Nardini et al 2011), and warmer weather (Schroll et al 2011).
