Roof Gardens book - Mert Ekşi - Yeni İnsan Publications

The main reason why roof gardens are not common enough is that we know very little about them. In our country, where the majority of the population has started to live in cities, roofs are ideal places to establish gardens. Roof gardens offer an important vision and awareness for building professionals such as architects and engineers, as well as landscape architects, horticulture experts, biologists and urban planners, policy makers, local or central government officials and enthusiasts. We all know very well that urban agriculture is in great demand due to the lack of green space. However, land prices, which are increasing every year, unfortunately cause the green areas to shrink. This is where roof gardens are a great opportunity. What makes this book unique is that it was written specifically for Türkiye. Our country has a unique climate and variable growing conditions. Dr. Ekşi has conducted numerous green roof studies in Turkey. Therefore, this book is invaluable as a resource. Although the information is specific to Turkey, it is possible to adapt this information to other parts of the world with a similar climate. Many questions about roof gardens confuse people. Can the existing waterproofing membrane be used? Which plant species will be successful? What type of growing medium is used and at what depth should it be? How much maintenance does it require? Environmental conditions are generally harsher for plants growing on roof surfaces; Low moisture content resulting from high air temperatures, drying winds and extreme temperature fluctuations in the root zone, and shallow growing environments. This situation brings with it some reservations in terms of transferring landscape areas from ground level to the roof. At this point, Roof Gardens will provide great service. This work is a compilation of research and technical information that provides guidelines for the design and implementation of green roof systems. Dr. Minus; It covers comprehensive topics related to green roofs, such as the history of green roofs, their definitions, types, plant types suitable for green roofs, their growing environments and the benefits they can provide.
