Phytogenic hillocks as ecological indicators of long-term vegetation persistence in temperate inland dunes

Phytogenic hillocks, or nebkhas, are commonly found in arid and semi-arid regions, but can also form in temperate zones, particularly in areas where forests on sandy soils have been cleared. In such environments, they play a key role in stabilizing an
