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.
