Large-scale hydroponic systems, a highly resource and space efficient form of cultivation, already contribute substantially to global food production. Recognising the value of such an efficiency, a few hydroponic/aquaponics community projects and sma...

Green roof soil organisms: Anthropogenic assemblages or natural communities? (2018)
Journal Article
Rumble, H., Finch, P., & Gange, A. C. (2018). Green roof soil organisms: Anthropogenic assemblages or natural communities?. Applied Soil Ecology, 126, 11-20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsoil.2018.01.010

Green roofs provide a range of ecosystem services, from stormwater retention to thermal insulation. They can also provide habitat for biodiversity, remediating land lost in development. However, few extensive green roofs are designed with this benefi... Read More about Green roof soil organisms: Anthropogenic assemblages or natural communities?.
