| description | The study of green roofs is an interdisciplinary field recognized for its eco-friendly roofingsolutions. Green roofs offer ecological, economic, and societal benefits, making them an ef-fective way to address urbanization's negative impacts. This review explores the evolution ofgreen roofs from ancient prototypes to modern innovations. Using the Google Scholar da-tabase, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of 50 articles to assess publication rates in the"green roof " area. Descriptive statistics were used to identify key contributors, ecosystem ser-vices, research methodologies, and spatial scales in green roof studies. Our analysis showed arise in research on green roof technology in the early 21st century, with the United States andChina leading this research. Urban heat island mitigation emerged as a primary research focusfor green roofs, with cities being the most studied spatial scale. The most common keywordswere "green roofs," "urban," and "energy." This study thoroughly reviews the past and presentstate of green roofs, showcasing a range of indicators that provide valuable insights for futureresearch and emerging trends in the area. |
