Due to the progressing climate change, cities face the challenge of adapting to new weather conditions, including heavy rains and draught periods. Green roofs are considered a promising solution for sustainable urban development, as they require no additional space and are expected to offer multiple functions. These include rainwater retention and storage, cooling effects, provision of additional space for humans and animals, and functioning as sink for urban pollutants. To validate these functions, a Research Green Roof was constructed on a building at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research campus in Leipzig. The Research Green Roof consists of four roof 80 m2 segments: extensive and semi-intensive green roofs, a wetland green roof, and a gravel roof serving as a reference. Each segment is equipped with numerous sensors to monitor water and heat balances. Additionally, botanical and entomological monitoring equipment has been installed. The roof segments are the subjects of interdisciplinary research by several working groups. This publication presents the research infrastructure and provides an overview of the ongoing studies.
期刊介绍:
Ecological engineering has been defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and nature. The journal is meant for ecologists who, because of their research interests or occupation, are involved in designing, monitoring, or restoring ecosystems, and can serve as a bridge between ecologists and engineers.
Specific topics covered in the journal include: habitat reconstruction; ecotechnology; synthetic ecology; bioengineering; restoration ecology; ecology conservation; ecosystem rehabilitation; stream and river restoration; reclamation ecology; non-renewable resource conservation. Descriptions of specific applications of ecological engineering are acceptable only when situated within context of adding novelty to current research and emphasizing ecosystem restoration. We do not accept purely descriptive reports on ecosystem structures (such as vegetation surveys), purely physical assessment of materials that can be used for ecological restoration, small-model studies carried out in the laboratory or greenhouse with artificial (waste)water or crop studies, or case studies on conventional wastewater treatment and eutrophication that do not offer an ecosystem restoration approach within the paper.
