Urbanization and climate change increase pressure on water resources and urban drainage systems, particularly in Mediterranean regions. Extensive green roofs have emerged as nature-based solutions capable of reducing stormwater runoff while improving urban microclimates. The present study evaluates the performance of halophytic and Mediterranean drought-tolerant plant species in extensive green roof systems irrigated with waters of different salinity levels. An experimental setup using the DIADEM-150 multilayer gr...
