Vegetation
Vegetation refers to living plant materials, such as sedum mats and green roof assemblies, used in architectural applications for roofing and facade integration. These systems typically combine pre-grown plants with geotextiles for root support and erosion control.
Applied in extensive green roofs on high-rise and residential towers, often paired with concrete substrates and glass enclosures. Provides insulation, stormwater management, and biodiversity in urban high-density typologies.
Cultivation and transport of pre-vegetated mats contribute upfront embodied carbon, though long-term sequestration via photosynthesis offsets this over the system lifespan. Biochar integration in some mats enhances carbon storage but requires verification of net benefits.
