Tropical green roofs vegetation dynamics data
This publication contains data collected in 2017 from three green roofs at the International Institute of Tropical Forestry in San Juan, Puerto Rico and one green roof at the Social Sciences Faculty of the University of Puerto Rico in Río Piedras. Data from these extensive green roofs include substrate depth as well as species counts within a sampled quadrant, as well as species identification information.<br>The data presented here were collected as part of a Master's Thesis by Grullón–Penkova (2017). The purpose of this study was to determine design considerations, a list of potential species for green roof design, and an idea of information that is lacking which could enlarge our knowledge of green roofs as novel ecosystems that serve as mitigation tools in our modern society.
