Green roofs are well known as an urban stormwater volume Best Management Practice (BMP) in northern climates, but information regarding water quality benefits/impacts and optimal plant-growing media combinations for green roofs in the sub-tropics is lacking. The objectives of this study were to: (1) determine the optimal plant-growing medium combination for water and nutrient retention and (2) characterize green roofs' capability to reduce stormwater volume and peak runoff and (3) determine whether green roofs behave similarly (as a sink or source) for nutrients and metals, in Florida and Virginia. Objectives were tested via (i) a green roof bin study in Florida and (ii) paired green roof studies in Florida and Virginia.

520 $a Green roofs are well known as an urban stormwater volume Best Management Practice (BMP) in northern climates, but information regarding water quality benefits/impacts and optimal plant-growing media combinations for green roofs in the sub-tropics is lacking. The objectives of this study were to: (1) determine the optimal plant-growing medium combination for water and nutrient retention and (2) characterize green roofs' capability to reduce stormwater volume and peak runoff and (3) determine whether green roofs behave similarly (as a sink or source) for nutrients and metals, in Florida and Virginia. Objectives were tested via (i) a green roof bin study in Florida and (ii) paired green roof studies in Florida and Virginia.
520 $a The results of the green roof bin study showed that growing medium type affected water retention and nutrient leaching more than plant type. Water retention ranged from a low of 24% for Building Logics (B) medium with no vegetation to a maximum of 83% for UCF (U) growing medium with perennials. Differences among media were attributed to physical characteristics of the media: pore-size distribution and OM content. Plants increased water retention by 7--10% above bare medium, with perennials having the greatest, and succulents having the least effect. TP and TN loads for the establishment period (initial 6-weeks) ranged from 110 mg P m-2 (U-perennials) to 1800 mg P m-2 for (H-succulents or bare medium); and from 190 mg N m-2 (U-runners) to 1800 mg N m-2 (H-succulents). The majority (60--90%) of the nutrient load leached out in the establishment period of the 24-week study period.
520 $a Green roofs monitored in Virginia and Florida behaved similarly for water retention and peak reduction. In both Florida and Virginia, small rain events (<0.254 cm), had significantly (p<0.05) higher mean retention (79% and 98%, Florida and Virginia respectively) than large rain events (26% retention and 72%, Florida and Virginia, respectively). Green roofs significantly (p<0.05) reduced the peak runoff in both Florida (94% for small and 60% for large events) and Virginia (100% for small and 79% for large events). Green roofs behaved similarly for nutrients (sources for phosphorus, sinks for N-NO3, and buffered pH) and differently for metals. Al and Fe levels were significantly higher (p<0.05) in green roof (GR) runoff than conventional roof (CR) runoff in Florida; while Pb was significantly lower (p<0.05) in Virginia GR runoff. In conclusion, this study found that green roofs in the subtropics are better suited as a stormwater volume control BMP, than a nutrient control BMP.
