Green Roof Soil - Great Opportunities Ahead! Part 1 by Purple-RoofWritten and narrated by Dr. Anna Zakrisson_____Green roof soil biology – why should I care?Traditionally, green roof soil biology (or soil health) has not been considered a central factor for improving stormwater management or nutrient runoff in green roofs. This life-giving layer has merely been viewed as a compartment for water, and the intricacies and complexities of the biological systems have often been ignored.We think that this one-dimensional view results in the loss of great opportunities. We are convinced that improving the roof’s soil biology helps creates a sustainable ecosystem, which can have profound positive impacts on vegetation stability, nutrient runoff, and stormwater retention, all leading to significant cost reductions for the end user.______Read the full article on the Purple-Roof blog:www.purple-roof.com/post/green-roof…anagement-tools_______Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions at[email protected]
