Wall ecology: A frontier for urban biodiversity and ecological engineering (2011, background): “One flaw of living roof design is that the roofs remain as patches disconnected from the ground, limiting the species that can utilize the ecosystems (Brenneisen, 2006; Ong, 2003; Schrader and Böning, 2006).”
A comparison of 3 types of green roof as habitats for arthropods (2013, background): “We did not sample the biodiversity of substrates that, except for Collembolans (Schrader and Böning, 2006), are poorly known.”
Insect species composition and diversity on intensive green roofs and adjacent level-ground habitats (2011, background): “The potential for green roofs to support insect diversity has been investigated in Germany (Baumann 2006; Schrader and Boening 2006; also see Brenneisen 2006), Switzerland (Brenneisen 2006), England (Jones 2002; Kadas 2006) and more recently, the United States (Coffman and Davis 2005; Clark and MacA”
Numerical evaluation of sound propagating over green roofs (2008, background): “Other advantages are an increase in carbon dioxide uptake, an improved biodiversity in urban areas [10], and the creation of a more pleasant environment for citizens.”
