Mushroom soil can improve green roofs

Mushroom soil can improve green roofs

Green roofs continue to arrive on the agenda due to the advantages of climate adaptation, carbon emission reduction and urban biological diversity management. In the US, Dartmouth and his team, which often performed a new study on the fact that the green roofs, which are planted with sterile soils, non-digenous plants, lose its effectiveness over time, revealed that the right blend of soil and germs can be a means of climate change for cities. In the green roofs prepared in this context, the soil enriched with mushrooms was used, as well as the success of the climate adaptation of these green roofs, as well as urban biological diversity.

Plant roofs cool neighborhoods
[[T]]The climate changes that occur as a result of conventional warming make the planet feel itself all over. These changes, especially in warm climates, cause an irresistible heat rise, affect daily life. It was seen that planted surfaces in the roofs of buildings, namely green roofs, excessive rainwater, insulation in buildings. It was concluded that these roofs also created urban living space for pollen carriers and wildlife. However, the green roofs in the USA were often planted with non-smoking plants and their effectiveness decreases in time. [

The first example was created in the roof 'Chicago
A research team led Dartmouth, which is put into a new study by moving from this problem, manage the germs of green roof soil, set out to determine whether it can support and support healthy urban soil development, a methodology that can be applied to support climate resistance in cities. The team created an experimental green roof in Chicago to test how to change the soil microbial community in time to enrich the soil with local meadow germs. The researchers added rich soil in native mykorizal mushrooms, called "greed" from a natively restored meadow to the soil of the experimental green roof. Infused and unprocessed ground, the domestic roast plants and green roof strains eken team followed changes in the green roofing community for two years.

The effects of tearing are quite surprising
In addition to the specified green roof mushroom types were compared with in vaccinated and located in the air. The findings obtained in the study showed that the soil in the green roof is enriched with mushrooms, accelerated soil development. According to the results published in New Phytologist; the green roofs treated with micorizal fungi were concluded that the long-term green roof sustainability is higher than the probability of supporting a variety of soil communities. Dartmouth Environmental Studies Department, which is a laboratory manager of soil ecology at the Dartmouth Environmental Studies Department, "In this urban roof environment, we have seen more diversity in fungal communities in the cultivated soil. Long-term and consistent effects of vaccination were quite surprising. Because of this, it’s not something you’ll definitely expect when working with small microorganisms.”

“ Green roofs are marketed as ‘lead and forget’

Bala Chaudhary, the environmental work in Dartmouth, "There is a shelf life of green roofs, and these are not always ecosystems that have self-employed as we think. When green roofs are marketed in the ‘kur and forget’, the role of green roofs played in the climate resistance of urban areas and to maximize their benefits, he spoke to design, construction and maintenance processes to include ecological thinking.”
