英文摘要	Ongoing urbanisation and climate change threaten urban green (UG) spaces in Lima, exacerbated by conventional design and management methods. Extensive green roofs (GRs) are a promising alternative in Lima's context as they provide numerous benefits and are adapted to arid conditions. This study aimed to develop sustainable GRs in Lima by using the Lomas ecosystems as a habitat template. We analysed abiotic conditions and plant traits of Lomas communities and compared them with those of GRs. We compared species composition and edaphic properties from five Lomas around Lima with those of arid GR systems. Lomas and GR species were further classified into functional groups based on their functional traits. Amancaes, Lachay and Villa Maria del Triunfo (VMT) have soils with similar characteristics as arid GRs, and the most suited Lomas species were found there. The 'herb functional group', consisting of herbs with succulence and clonal capacity, may be suitable for GRs due to arid adaptations and creeping and clumping growth patterns. Given the endangered status of several Lomas species within this group, introducing them to GRs in Lima offers a conservation opportunity, helping their survival and establishing urban complementary habitats. Shrub species such as Heliotropium, Atriplex, Croton, and Trixis are the most frequent shrubs in Lomas and are crucial for preserving the structure and biodiversity of the ecosystem. However, the 'shrub functional group' may be better suited for semi -intensive GRs due to their deeper root systems and erect growth. The habitat template approach can aid biodiversity conservation by incorporating threatened and endemic Lomas species into GR systems.
