What greenroofs improve. The Chesapeake Bay
What greenroofs improve. Sediment can smother benthic (bottom-dwelling) plants and animals, such as oysters and clams. Suspended sediment clouds the water, preventing light from penetrating to the leaves and stems of underwater grasses, or submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). High concentrations of toxic materials also may be present in sediment, which further contaminate waterways. Sediment carries excess nutrients, particularly phosphorus, into Bay waters, compromising water quality. Accumulations of sediment can clog waterways and ports, making traffic difficult or hazardous, and requiring dredging. The Chesapeake Bay
