Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
Green roofs can create more resilient hybrid infrastructures for the sustainable management of urban stormwater. Their permeation in urban design and planning practice depends on the roof capability in supplying multiple ecosystem services that are mainly affected by water availability and management. The blue-green roof is an innovative solution coupling a water storage below the green roof able to gather infiltrated rainfall and slowly release it out of the system. Infiltrated rainfall is then reused by green roof vegetation by capillary irrigation allowing plants survival in the dry period, increasing evapotranspiration and producing a cooling effect. The roof storage allows reducing flooding risk and overload of drainage system through storing and gradually releasing of water. This paper presents a simulation of different scenarios of green and blue-green roof in Viterbo (Central Italy) during critical rainfall. Results demonstrate (a) the almost double efficiency of the blue-green roof in reducing runoff with respect to the traditional green roof and (b) the benefits of an increased storage capacity of the blue-green roof in terms of runoff control. Future research lines for blue-green roof systems are reported and some urban planning considerations are suggested for the study area.
