| Zusammenfassung: | Allowing spontaneous urban vegetation to grow on building facades directly could represent a valuable alternative to current common green walls on building, from a cost and maintenance but also biodiversity perspective. The aim of this work is first to document characteristics of the sprouting points of plants on walls. Secondly, with the analysis of the recorded data, possible preferred structures shall be determined to be able to draw conclusions about germination and growth fostering design of construction elements for building facades. The work covers spontaneous vegetation growing on freestanding walls, retainment walls or walls of buildings and civil constructions in Zurich, Switzerland. The wall tops, vertical wall surfaces and wall base joints are assessed separately. With statistical methods (linear models) various environmental characteristics of the walls are examined for significant influence on species richness and cover or abundance. Further, quantitative evaluation of different characteristics of the sprouting Species cover on vertical wall surfaces is significantly positively influenced by inclination in interaction with distance from the ground of the plot and seldom maintenance. Plants use all different forms of sprouting points, i.e., joints, cracks, pores, the substantial difference in occurrence of plants in these different forms is mainly due their highly different occurrence on walls and not to a preference of the plants. Finally, water provision is the most critical point for successful facade vegetation on buildings. To realize a good water provision on facades for plants two options could be considered in future architectural designs of facades: 1. build facade with inclination over 10°; 2. Integrate rainwater flow and water retainment in the facade elements. |
