Sedum cools soil and can improve neighboring plant performance during water deficit on a green roof
Green roofs have the potential to function as islands of biodiversity within urban and suburban environments. However, plant diversity is constrained by the harsh environment of a green roof, especially summertime water deficit and heat stress. We hypothesized that Sedum species, which are highly tolerant of the roof-top environment, would reduce peak soil temperature and increase performance o...
متن کاملShear Strength of a Soil Containing Vegetation Roots
Vegetation can signiˆcantly contribute to stabilise sloping terrain by reinforcing the soil: this reinforcement depends on the morphological characteristics of the root systems and the tensile strength of single roots. This paper describes an investigation on the reinforcing eŠect of soil-root matrix in the laboratory using a modiˆed large shear box apparatus (300 mm×300 mm). Four diŠerent spec...
متن کاملHyperspectral Monitoring of Green Roof Vegetation Health State in Sub-Mediterranean Climate: Preliminary Results
In urban and industrial environments, the constant increase of impermeable surfaces has produced drastic changes in the natural hydrological cycle. Decreasing green areas not only produce negative effects from a hydrological-hydraulic perspective, but also from an energy point of view, modifying the urban microclimate and generating, as shown in the literature, heat islands in our cities. In th...
متن کاملWheat Root Growth as Affected by Soil Strength
Soil compaction is a common problem that affects several soil properties and plant growth. In order to assess the effects of soil strength expressed by its mechanical resistance on roots, a growth chamber experiment was conducted at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, in 1994, during 35 days (530 GDD, 0oC base temperature) on a typical Paleudult soil. Treatments, using ...
متن کاملEnergy saving performance of green vegetation on LEED certified buildings
Sustainable building practices can considerably reduce building’s environmental impact in energy consumption. Covering a building envelope with green vegetation, such as green roof and green wall, is considered a sustainable construction practice, as green vegetation has a positive performance in energy savings. It reduces heat flux and solar reflectivity, generates evaporative cooling, increas...
