Remote sensing for healthy vegetation on green roofs
Abstract
Green roofs have been increasingly implemented in cities globally to enhance urban ecosystem services. However, temporal trends in green roof vegetation health and the effects of design considerations at a large scale remain unclear. Here we used very high-resolution multispectral remote sensing imagery to quantify the temporal changes in vegetation health and associated roof characteristics across 1,380 individual green roof units in Toronto …
