Researchers from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Università Politecnica delle Marche have found that green roofs with high vegetation density are 60 % more efficient than non-green roofs.

Inland areas with low rainfall and more open vegetation had higher cat densities than most coastal, wetter areas, but only after extensive rain.

Besides, researchers found that a roof with a high density vegetation works as a passive cooling system, in fact, the energy released from the building through the roof during the summer is a 9 % of the incoming energy during the same period.

Its preferred habitat is complex layer vegetation with a high density of woody, perennially fruiting shrubs.

With respect to why there was a significant increase in tree density over the past several decades, Dolanc offers that the changes in the density and composition of lower - elevation forests are consistent with fire suppression; but that the density increases in high - elevation vegetation types (subalpine forests generally don't burn) are «more likely to be caused by changing climate.»
