How much CO2 can an extensive green roof absorb from the atmosphere? New publication in the Journal of Geophysical Reseach - Biogeosciences

[Institut für Geoökologie, Abteilung Klimatologie]

For more than 5 years, we have been performing eddy covariance measurements on an extensive green roof in Berlin to investigate the energy balance of the green roof as well as the CO2 exchange. Our results on CO2 uptake were recently published in JGR Biogeosciences (open access - https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2020JG005879
