“…These are similar to results presented in previous studies, indicating GRs as a source of organic matter [7,46], phosphorus [22,24,25,47,48], pathogens [48], and total dissolved solids [1,30], as well as the pH neutralization effect from GRs [1,22,25,26,31,[49][50][51][52]. GRs had significantly higher concentrations for total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), nitrates, and nitrites than the control cases, confirming the findings of Aitkenhead-Peterson et al [46], Greogoire and Clausen [53], Moran et al [54], and Whittinghill et al [55]. This was in contrast to concentrations of ammonia, where the average GRs concentrations were below those found in the control cases and where no statistically significant difference (Table 3) was found.…”

“…The hydrological performance of green roofs has been relatively well studied, since water management is perhaps the most marketed benefit of a green roof. Storm water retention is reported to range from 25%-85% for green roofs based on a variety of combinations of substrate and vegetation [105][106][107][108][109] with a median of 50%. As rainfall intensity increases, this effect is also reduced.…”

“…As rainfall intensity increases, this effect is also reduced. Although the substrate [110] and drainage layers of green roofs as well as the slope of the roof [111] contribute most significantly to storm water management, the composition of the vegetation is also important [106,112]. In an extensive green roof, vegetation can alter storm water retention by as much as 82% compared with the substrate that the green roof is grown on alone [113].…”

“…Theoretically, UA thus has a positive effect on water and energy flows compared to built-up surfaces, but trees or other plants with high LAI are expected to be much more effective in mitigating the heat island effect of cities or controlling peak water flows (Coutts et al 2012;Hall et al 2012), also because most crops can only exert temporary effects on their environment. Nevertheless, Whittinghill et al (2014) recently documented that vegetable producing extensive green roofs had a similar water retention capacity than more conventional Sedum green roofs.…”
