1) Green roofs can help manage stormwater but often flooding still occurs due to heavy rainfall exceeding infrastructure design capacities. Implementing green infrastructure like green roofs may help reduce flooding by retaining water. 2) Studies show biochar amendment to green roof substrates can significantly improve nutrient retention and water holding capacity. Biochar reduced nitrogen and phosphorus loads in runoff by 40% and 35% respectively in one study. 3) Preliminary research also found crushed concrete substrates amended with biochar and limestone showed potential for good nutrient retention and water holding. Further research on biochar and mycorrhizal amendments in crushed concrete is warranted.
