Overview
1xbet online casino roof research at Kansas State University is led by the Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional & Community Planning in the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design, or APDesign, with help from many other colleges on campus. Five 1xbet online casino roofs are currently being studied at K-State: Seaton Hall Upper 1xbet online casino Roof, the Seaton Hall Lower 1xbet online casino Roof, the East Memorial Stadium 1xbet online casino Roof, the West Memorial Stadium 1xbet online casino Roof, and the APDesign Experimental 1xbet online casino Roof.
Seaton Hall 1xbet online casino Roofs

In 2009, the rooftop above a third-floor breezeway on Seaton Hall was retrofitted with 15 plant species native to the central Great Plains.This semi-intensive 1xbet online casino roof, known, as the Seaton Hall Upper 1xbet online casino Roof, is relatively small covering an area of only 28.5 square meters or 305 square feet. This demonstration project offered an accessible setting to observe plant vigor and survival, and develop research strategies in a region with few 1xbet online casino roofs.
The Seaton Hall Lower 1xbet online casino Roof was installed in 2012 and is slightly larger than the Seaton Hall Upper 1xbet online casino Roof, with an area of approximately 32 square meters, or 340 square feet. This roof uses modules planted with 11 species of native plants, in addition to 10 different species of Sedum. Vegetation is irrigated as needed using potable water and rooftop runoff collected in a cistern, which demonstrates how stormwater can be captured and used to water 1xbet online casino roof vegetation.

Memorial Stadium 1xbet online casino Roofs
The two Memorial Stadium 1xbet online casino Roofs were installed in 2015 and 2016. Some of the stadium seating was removed and retrofitted with the 1xbet online casino roofs. A combination of seed and plants from 27 native species were planted on the steeply-sloped roofs, which encompass approximately 4,000 square meters or 21,525 square feet. The vegetation coverage, soil moisture and butterfly communities are being studied for these roofs. 1xbet onlinfor more information.
APDesign Experimental 1xbet online casino Roof

This 1xbet online casino roof, located on the new APDesign building, was constructed during summer and fall 2017. The research on this roof is studying how well different plants can survive with different 1xbet online casino roof soil types and soil depths. Monitoring was initiated in spring 2018 for vegetation growth and health, soil moisture, precipitation, air and substrate temperatures, and other variables. A total of 72 plots were created using two different regionally-available substrate types. Three different plant mixes were placed in each plot, and lie within three different substrate depths. Because deeper soils require more structural support and are more expensive to build, it is important to determine whether the extra soil depth is essential for plant survival for different soils. If deeper soils do not improve plant health, then the shallower soils could be used without the added cost. 1xbet sport for more information.
