Hydrological Effectiveness of an Extensive Green Roof in Mediterranean Climate
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a monitoring analysis of an extensive green roof located at the University of Calabria, Italy, in the Mediterranean climate region, in order to evaluate the influence of the substrate depth on green roof retention, showing how the specific soil substrate was able to achieve a runoff volume reduction ranging from 22% to 24% by increasing the soil depth.

Yongwei Gong,Dingkun Yin,Junqi Li,Junqi Li,Xianwei Zhang,Wenhai Wang,Xing Fang,Honghong Shi,Wang Qi +8 more
TL;DR: The runoff quantity and quality control capacity of five types of extensive green roofs (EGRs) were analyzed in Beijing for 51 nature rainfall events and 6 simulated events from July 2017 to October 2018 and showed that as the module scale and substrate thickness increased, the retention capacity of the EGRs increased.
