Conference: Ecosystem services of green building envelopes – observations and modelling

The two-day scientific online conference on “Ecosystem services of green building envelopes – observations and modelling” invites researchers to present recent insights and developments in ecosystem processes of vegetated roofs and walls. The conference aims to present both model studies and observations at different spatial scales, from the leaf level to the city scale, and at different temporal scales, from short-term to long-term studies. The meeting is organized in the framework of the bilateral research project GREENVELOPES (Carbon and water exchange of green building envelopes) jointly carried out by CNRM (Météo-France/CNRS) and Technische Universität Braunschweig.

We welcome abstracts addressing topics which focus on the following main themes, but are not limited to:

• regulating ecosystem services such as benefits derived from moderating or controlling ecosystem processes, e.g. regulation of local climate, air, carbon sequestration, flooding and pollination
• providing ecosystem services such as material or energy outputs from an ecosystem, including food and other resources
• sustaining ecosystem services such as services that maintain basic ecosystem processes, e.g. habitat for plants and animals, biodiversity.

The conference will be held on the 24th and 25th of September 2026 as an Online meeting.

Important dates:

• Call for papers: 09.06.2026
• Submission of Abstracts: until 08.08.2026
• Notification of acceptance: 21.08.2026

Please submit your abstract using the template (LInk) until 08.08.2026 to greenvelopes(at)tu-braunschweig.de. A link to the conference (Webex meeting) will be provided after registration (for free) shortly before the conference.
