An Experimentally Validated Selection Protocol for Biochar as a Sustainable Component in Green Roofs
Green roofs contribute to more sustainable cities, but current commercial substrates suffer from important limitations. If carefully selected, biochar could serve as a viable option for a more sustainable green roof substrate. We propose a protocol to select an optimal biochar for green roof substra...
