SPRING ISSUE
When the day lilies were first planted there were lots of
bare areas left over. The roof was not maintained for five
years so over 50 species of pioneering plants established
themselves, competing with the lilies. (left image)
TREATMENT
The growing media was full of seeds, but they have been
suppressed with tarps, and this roof has gradually been
turned into a rooftop farm which produces more than
25,000 pounds of produce per year (right image). A tour of
the roof is being given at the Grey to Green conference in
Toronto June 1-4, 2016.
BOOK REVIEW: GREEN ROOF ECOSYSTEMS
RICHARD SUTTON (ED)., SPRINGER (2015)
This book provides is a compilation of green roof, design, and management from an ecosystem
perspective with more than 25 experts contributing chapters. It reviews, explains, and poses questions
about monitoring, substrate, living components and the abiotic, biotic and cultural aspects connecting
green roofs to the fields of community, landscape and urban ecology. The work contains examples of
green roof venues that demonstrate the focus, level of detail, and techniques needed to understand the
structure, function, and impact of these novel ecosystems. This compilation delves to explore the next
wave of evolution in green technology and defines potential paths for technological advancement and
research. If you didn't purchase a copy at CitiesAlive 2015 in New York, you can order one online.
