Example
Extensive green roofs are lightweight with a shallow layer of growing substrate of less than 200 mm deep, requiring minimal maintenance. They generally have lower water requirements and use small, low-growing plant species, particularly succulents (see images 1 and 5 opposite). ‘Ecoroofs’ or ‘brown roofs’ are terms used to describe these extensive green roofs. Roofs that are designed and planted specifically to increase local plant diversity and provide habitat (food and shelter) for wildlife are known as ‘biodiverse green roofs’ (see image 3 opposite).
