Bio diversity roofs

Brown/ bio diversity roofs serve several functions related to urban bio diversity. They act as stepping stones between nature reserves, such as parks on the edges of cities, and un colonized habitats in the middle of the city.

They provide a return area for plants and animals that previously inhabited an area that has undergone disturbance and development. They can also serve as permanent substitute habitats for Intervention Rule of the Federal Nature Conservation Act strives to achieve.

Brown roofs can support invertebrates such as bees, beetles, butterflies,moths, earthworms and snails, and vertebrae such as birds.

Bio-diversity can be encouraged by maximising structural diversity, varying the soil depth,using native substrates, and growing plant specifies that serve as larval hosts and food plants for insects.

Wild flowers carry a greater bio-diversity value for the natural habitat. Varying substrate depths and consistencies will encourage a local habitat.
