Graphical abstract Drukker et al. (2025):
A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research.
Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.
Network analysis is a useful tool to understand deterministic processes like soil–plant–insect interactions and further analyse ecosystem development on green roofs
