green-infrastructure
Green infrastructure refers to the strategic use of vegetation and natural systems—such as green roofs, urban forests, rain gardens, and constructed wetlands—to manage environmental challenges in built landscapes. For plant science, this field drives research into which species and plant communities best tolerate urban stressors like pollution, heat, and compacted soils while maximizing benefits such as stormwater absorption and carbon sequestration. Understanding plant physiology and ecology in these engineered contexts helps optimize designs that support biodiversity and improve air and water quality in cities.
