What is it about?
Application of pyrogenic carbon to rooftop media in lieu of other organics to lighten overburden, enhance fertility, increase mycorrhizal functioning, enhance intrinsic water use efficiency and soil moisture retention

Why is it important?
C3 plants are valuable to green roof ecology but are underused compared to CAMs. A combination of a C3 legume and application of pyrogenic carbon additive provide a pathway to improved rooftop ecology despite lack of seasonal low moisture availability.
