Native plants in the urban spacegreen roofsstormwater managementmediterranean native plantsMestrado em Arquitectura Paisagista - Instituto Superior de AgronomiaUrban areas generate considerable amounts of storm water runoff due to a high percentage of impervious surfaces. In Mediterranean climates, during winter, there can be large volumes of rainfall in short periods of time causing floods. Green roofs are emerging as a tool for storm water management. The use of native plants, besides promoting biodiversity, reduces maintenance and irrigation requirements, which gains relevance since water is scarce during summer. This work investigates the influence of rainfall, vegetation and substrate types upon the rainfall-runoff relations under Mediterranean climate. Nine test beds were installed on a building rooftop on the Instituto Superior de Agronomia, incorporating two substrates and five different vegetation covers. Results for the autumn/winter period show that the vegetated systems did not only reduce the amount of storm water runoff, but also attenuated its peak and delayed its occurrence. Overall mean retention ranged from 63 to 82 %. The combination of shrubs, grasses and mosses proved to be the most effective vegetation cover. Estimations revealed that, by greening the flat roofs of the Municipality of Lisbon, over 224 000 m3 of water could be retained, relieving the drainage systems and preventing floodsISA/ULCameira, Maria do RosárioRepositório da Universidade de LisboaBrandão, Carolina Pinto2016-03-15T14:46:02Z20152015-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/11197TID:201845717engBranndão, C.B. - Hydrological performance of green roofs under Mediterranean climate.
