Green roofs, often referred to as living roofs, are layered systems installed on building rooftops to support vegetation. They can vary from extensive systems, which have shallow soil substrates and require little maintenance, to intensive systems, featuring deeper soil profiles and a wider variety of plants. Green roofs offer numerous benefits, including improved insulation, reduced urban heat island effect, enhanced air quality, and increased biodiversity within urban settings. By absorbing rainwater, green roofs also mitigate stormwater runoff, reducing the strain on municipal drainage systems.
