Abstrakty

Intensive green roofs as an element of green infrastructure in urban areas. The purpose of this publication is to discuss the potential and limitations of using woody vegetation in intensive green roofs in the context of sustainable urban development. Intensive green roofs, with deep substrates supporting woody vegetation, require complex technical solutions, careful species selection, and regular maintenance. Compared to extensive roofs with grasses and succulents, they are more challenging to implement, but provide significant ecological benefits, including increased biodiversity, new habitats for birds and pollinators, as well mitigation of the urban heat island effect. Functioning as artificial ecosystems linked to natural ones, they demand responsible management and strict control of species to prevent invasions by non-native plants.

Intensywne zielone dachy jako element zielonej infrastruktury na obszarach miejskich. W artykule omówiono potencjał i ograniczenia wykorzystania roślinności drzewiastej na intensywnych zielonych dachach w kontekście zrównoważonego rozwoju miast. Intensywne zielone dachy to rozwiązania charakteryzujące się znaczną grubością substratu oraz możliwością nasadzenia roślinności drzewiastej. W odróżnieniu od dachów ekstensywnych, obsadzanych roślinnością zielną (głównie trawami i sukulentami), wymagają one bardziej złożonych rozwiązań technicznych, bardzo starannego doboru gatunków oraz regularnej i kosztownej pielęgnacji. Z tego względu są trudniejsze do założenia i utrzymania, ale jednocześnie oferują szerszy zakres korzyści ekologicznych. Do najważniejszych korzyści ekologicznych należą: wzrost bioróżnorodności, np. tworzenie siedlisk dla ptaków, czy drastycznie zmniejszających się w środowiskach wielkomiejskich populacji owadów zapylających; redukcja efektu miejskich wysp ciepła, będących efektem powszechnej w miastach „betonozy” Intensywne zielone dachy stanowią jednak sztuczne ekosystemy, funkcjonujące w bezpośrednim powiązaniu z ekosystemami naturalnymi, co wymaga odpowiedzialnego zarządzania nimi i ścisłej kontroli gatunków, zwłaszcza w kontekście ryzyka inwazyjności roślin obcych.
