Building height matters: nesting activity of bees and wasps on vegetated roofs (2016, background): “There is some quantitative data on the reproductive success of birds (Baumann 2006) but there is little data on whether vegetated roofs can act as a source or sink for species seeking nesting habitat (MacIvor & Ksiazek 2015).”
A comparison of 3 types of green roof as habitats for arthropods (2013, background): “Some birds have already been observed nesting in green roofs, such as the northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) in Switzerland (Baumann, 2006) and the black redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) in England (Grant, 2006).”
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”
