“…These previous results confirm that a diverse vegetation structure enhances urban habitat heterogeneity and is also a major factor that positively influences habitat resources for invertebrates (Hercock 1997;Hermy and Cornelis 2000;Savard et al 2000;Fernández-Juricic and Jokimäki 2001;Young and Jarvis 2001;Honnay et al 2003;Livingston et al 2003;Cornelis and Hermy 2004;Jackson and Boutle 2008;Tzoulas and James 2009;Viol et al 2009;Dvorak and Volder 2010;Coffman and Waite 2011;Kazemi et al 2011;Moore 2011;Moore and Hunt 2012;Iswoyo et al 2013;Briers 2014;Beumer and Martens 2015;Van Mechelen et al 2015;Voigt and Wurster 2015). Consequently, vegetation structure diversity in vegetated SuDS systems has a key role to play in offering more resources and opportunities to different organisms within an ecosystem, which is compatible with the ecological niche theory (Cain et al 2011).…”

“…Habitat for species was chosen because vegetated SuDS systems can be ideal places of habitats for many native animals and plant species (acting as sanctuaries for separated aquatic and wetland macroinvertebrates), and they in turn contribute to the overall biodiversity of the urban environment (Jackson and Boutle 2008;Viol et al 2009;Dvorak and Volder 2010;Moore 2011;Moore and Hunt 2012;Rowe et al 2012;Briers 2014;Cao et al 2014;Scholz 2015). Overall, vegetated SuDS schemes, especially when incorporated into existing urban green infrastructures, can contribute to the reconnection of fragmented habitats (Natural England 2011;Ellis 2013;Graham et al 2013;Scholz 2015).…”

“…Shallow growing media in such systems have led to a reliance on succulent plant species in the vegetation layer, to ensure survival during drought conditions. Other plant growth forms have also been used on extensive green roofs, with grasses, forbs, and mosses among the most frequent 3, 4 . Lichens are often found on conventional roof surfaces 5 and form an important component of cryptogamic crusts in terrestrial ecosystems 6 .…”

“…The effectiveness of green roof systems may vary with climate (Dvorak & Volder 2010;Ascione et al 2013), plant species selection (Nagase & Dunnett 2010), and materials used for the green roof construction (Savi et al 2013). Reliable performance of a green roof system depends on the roof inclination and substrate depth (Heim & Lundholm 2014).…”

“…Dvorak and Volder (2010) described thermal functioning of green roofs in areas ranging from subtropical prairie over coastal lowland and moraine to intermountain semi-desert or temperate regions. doi: 10.17221/17/2015-SWR The use of highly diverse vegetation had a positive effect on the thermal functioning of green roofs (Kolb & Schwartz 1993).…”
