MORAN, AMY CHRISTINE. A North Carolina Field Study to Evaluate Greenroof Runoff Quantity, Runoff Quality, and Plant Growth. (Under the direction of Gregory D. Jennings and William F. Hunt) Two greenroofs were constructed for research and demonstration purposes in North Carolina; the first was constructed at the Neuseway Nature Center in Kinston in April 2002 and the second greenroof was constructed at Wayne Community College (WCC) in Goldsboro in May 2002. The 27 m 2 Nature Center Greenroof, with a 3% pitch, was constructed with 102 mm deep media. The relatively flat, 70 m 2 WCC Greenroof was constructed with two different media depths of 102 mm and 51 mm to research the effect of media depth on plant growth. Each greenroof was compared to a reference roof, or a control roof, on site.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
