Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Groundcover species suffered more seasonal stress.
- Observation A few species increased in abundance on both green roofs.
- Mechanism The increase in a few species simplified the original green roof design.
- Association Vegetational structure mainly influenced diversity and colonising species on green roofs.
- Observation Centranthus ruber was among the best performing green roof species.
- Observation Helichrysum stoechas was among the best performing green roof species.
- Observation Frankenia laevis was among the best performing green roof species.
- Observation Thymus serpyllum was among the best performing green roof species.
- Recommendation Minimal irrigation was found necessary for plants to withstand severe drought stress.
- Recommendation A combination of vegetal species with different structures and development can give good Mediterranean green roof results.
