Abstract
► Most green roofs are planted with only a few drought-tolerant species. ► Diverse plant communities on green roofs may improve green roof functioning. ► There are few experimental manipulations of diversity on green roofs. ► We review the ecological biodiversity literature in the context of green roofs. ► The results suggest an explicit research agenda for future green roof studies.
