Recently, green walls have come to the attention of researchers from several fields, as a result of the concerted effort to find viable solutions to stop/mitigate urban pollution that produces numerous negative effects. The viability of a green wall consists in the use of plants with a high aesthetic appearance, which are resistant to environmental conditions and ensure a quick and compact coverage. The present paper proposes a multiple linear regression model for the plant coverage of a vertical system in which the soil moisture and temperature are explanatory variables. The questions that we address and answer in this paper are related to the dependence of the plant coverage on the orientation of the wall and the influence of the plant coverage on the temperature inside a green wall system.
