Extensive Green Roof
Extensive green roof systems generally provide a visual or biodiversity profile, designed to support plants with a lower maintenance requirement, e.g. sedums, grasses, mosses and some wildflower species. These planting types are able to survive on shallower substrate depths than other types of plants and require lower nutrient levels along with little or no irrigation requirement.
