Understanding the influence of leaf litter on the water balance composition of blue-green infrastructure
Extended abstract presented at ICUD 2024. Highlights: We compared the hydrological performance of a green roof for “reference” and “leaf litter” scenarios. Leaf litter (2 kg m-2) increased the overland flow volume and sped up its concentration time. Initial soil moisture content and leaf litter influenced the green roof’s water balance components.
