Monitoring of Habitats in a Coastal Dune System Within the “Arco Ionico” Site (Taranto, Apulia)
Although dune systems play a crucial ecological role and offer various ecosystem services, they are listed among the habitat types of community interest in the European Union that are undergoing the most severe conservation challenges.

Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...

Abstract Introduction Restoration in drylands is challenging because of harsh climates, requiring creative methods and organisms like biocrusts for restoration of degraded lands. Biocrusts are thin, coherent soil surface layers prevalent in drylands, engineered, and inhabited by communities of organisms including mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria ...

Evaluating the accuracy of the EcoservR toolkit for fine‐resolution habitat mapping
Accurate habitat maps are essential for monitoring ecological change and supporting nature recovery planning. We evaluate the EcoservR rule‐based habitat mapping toolkit using field survey data from Merseyside and the North York Moors, validating classifications across the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) Phase 1 hierarchy.

An In‐Depth Characterization of Page Fault Handling in Modern Persistent Memory Systems
ABSTRACT Recent advancements in Persistent Memory (PM) technologies have enabled the integration of such devices directly into the processor's memory hierarchy, allowing them to be accessed via standard load/store instructions. These developments have revived interest in the design and implementation of systems capable of effectively supporting PM.
