City workers, city dwellers and city tourists consider green roofs the lush, enchanted gardens that bring the inspiration of nature into an urban setting. A new book includes research out of the University of Cincinnati that explores the dynamics of nutrient cycling in green roof systems. The research by Ishi Buffam, a UC assistant professor of biological sciences, and Mark Mitchell, a doctoral student in biological sciences, is featured in the book, "Green Roof Ecosystems" by Springer Publishing.
