An Air-to-Water ratio in such a range is important for the resilience of plants, for nutrient exchange capacity, pH buffering capability, and beneficial (aerobe) microbes. It is a simple fact that the more we do for healthy plants with a natural diversity, the better a Green Roof system can retain and detain stormwater. .

Much of the urgency around flood resilience is based on climate change: One report from the Northeast Regional Climate Center found that “100-year” storm events could be as much as 50 percent rainier by the end of the century. In the U.S., However, this model is only feasible in larger cities with connections to large university systems.
