Abstract:

Due to an increase in impermeable hard surfaces, urbanization has led to the deterioration of urban watercourses and increased the quantity of stormwater runoff. It may be argued that the current norm of impermeable roofs represents a wasted opportunity. Green roofs have the potential to replace some of the hydrological characteristics of natural catchments that are normally lost as a consequence of urbanization and the removal of vegetation. The overall aim of this study was to develop a generic green roof rainfall runoff response model capable of predicting the temporal variations within any

Abstract:

With the majority of people living in cities, innovative solutions for greening the urban environment are necessary to provide ecosystem services such as urban cooling and remediating habitat loss. Green roofs are one potential solution within green infrastructure. Few studies have investigated whether green roofs are a good urban habitat, particularly for soil organisms. The soil food web is vital to above-ground ecosystem processes as it regulates nutrients and can alleviate drought stress, so could be an important but overlooked factor in green roof design. This is the first multi-season st

Abstract:

The use of green roofs is increasing in many countries because of their benefits to the urban environment. However, only a few plant selection studies for green roofs have been carried out and little information on plant performance on roof environments is available in the UK climate. As a result, only a limited range of plants such as Sedum spp. are commonly used for green roofs, especially for shallow substrate green roofs. Therefore, this thesis investigates plant selection for extensive green roofs in the UK. The work in this thesis focused on the following objectives. (1) To identify grou

Abstract:

Urban populations worldwide are expanding rapidly and consequently a large number of people are becoming exposed to hazards inherent in cites. Phenomena such as the urban heat island can exacerbate the effects of heatwaves, and land surface sealing can lead to flash flooding. Cities are also the sites of enhanced air and water pollution from non-point sources such as concentrated motor vehicle use. Climate change predictions for the UK include increased winter precipitation and an increase in frequency of summer heatwaves. This will put further pressure on urban residents and infrastructure. R

Urbanization replaces once permeable surfaces with relatively impervious ones, thereby degrading the natural hydrologic cycle. Impervious surfaces intensify stormwater runoff in terms of overall mass and temporal response, especially under torrential rainfalls. Since such runoff could become massive in volume and concentrated in time, they place significant stress on the urban drainage system and increase the risks of combined sewage overflow and flooding, which could introduce a range of deleterious consequences to cities and surrounding natural habitats.

Sedum species dominate the extreme green roof plant palette as these are low maintenance, but their monotonous colour, texture and structure, combined with their minimal ecosy

Green roofs have become an important urban mitigation technology due to their ability to address multiple environmental issues.

A greater area of impervious surfaces leads to increased stormwater runoff volume and velocity, and consequently increases the risk off looding and erosion.

Abstract:

For the last few decades, the interest in green roofs has been developing quickly because of the benefits they have on the modern urban environment situation. Recently, of the range of native habitats in the UK appropriate for green roof application, calcareous grassland plant communities have been given much attention for use on green roofs because of the similarity that these habitats have to green roof conditions. However, there has been very little or no research into how locally-characteristic habitats can be recreated on green roofs, and this has led to a lack of specific recommendations

Abstract:

Green roofs (GRs) can provide multiple ecosystem services (ESs) such as air quality improvement, biodiversity support and climate regulation. The hypothesis was tested that plants with different structural and functional characteristics (canopy size and density, evapotranspiration (ET) rates) differ in the provision of stormwater management and runoff quality improvement. Experiments were conducted comparing the potential of industrial standard GR cover (Sedum) to alternative species with higher ET rates (Heuchera micrantha ‘Obsidian’, Salvia officinalis and Stachys byzantina). High ET was str

Abstract:

Increased urbanization leads to an increasing amount of impervious surfaces and a decrease ofthe natural hydrological function. Urban stormwater does thus risk to create high surface flows which could damage the receiving water bodies (e.g. erosion) or the urban area itself (flooding). Integrating more nature-based systems into the urban area increases the natural hydrological function and the risks for high surface flows are lowered. One way of implementing nature-based systems in the urban environment is to install green roofs. Most of the research and development done on green roofs have be

Abstract:

As Hong Kong is famous for its image of leading international financial metropolis, many high-rise office buildings are confined inside some developed commercial districts of Hong Kong. A place for provision of greenery in such districts seems impracticable. However, greenery can exist in forms of green roof onto office buildings, it seems a practical way to embellish this concrete city. Academic studies from other countries have proven that having green roof onto buildings is able to bring numerous psychological benefits to the building occupants, but is this fact still true for office bui

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia do Ambiente apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra.<br>As recentes inundações em todo o mundo mostram a vulnerabilidade dos ambientes urbanos às condições hidrológicas extremas. O aumento da urbanização, sem o devido planeamento, combinado com as alterações climáticas levam ao aumento dos caudais superficiais provocando, assim, recorrentes inundações. Reconstruir o sistema de drenagem para fazer face a este problema pode não ser eficiente ou viável, quer tecnicamente quer economicamente. Técnicas inovadoras co
