Redefining ecosystem integrity for an Anthropocene biosphere: a process‐ and lineage‐based framework for restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration increasingly operates in rapidly transforming landscapes shaped by human‐driven global change, where historical reference states no longer represent achievable or even desirable targets. Yet, ecological restoration and conservation management still rely on composition‐based definitions of ecosystem integrity that assume stable reference ...

Automating creativity assessment in engineering design: A psychometric validation of AI‐generated items of the design problem task

Journal of Engineering Education, Volume 115, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Background Creativity is essential for engineering design, yet its assessment remains challenging due to the resource‐intensive nature of traditional evaluation methods. Purpose/Hypothesis(es) This study investigates the potential of automatic item generation (AIG) using large language models (LLMs) to create psychometrically sound items for ...

Growth and yield response of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) clones to spacing in the Guinea Savanna zone of Ghana

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The Guinea Savanna zone of many countries constitutes a critical cashew‐producing area. Despite its importance, data‐driven recommendations on optimal tree spacing remain largely unavailable to farmers in Ghana. This knowledge gap constrains productivity, reduces returns on investment, and affects farmer interest and ultimately the long‐term ...

Spatiotemporal changes in soil chemical properties when cover crops are integrated into raised, stale seedbed corn production systems

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Commercial row crop production in the midsouthern United States is characterized by extensive application of inorganic soil inputs and management practices that contribute to degraded soil health. This study was conducted to determine if cover crops affect spatial or temporal changes in soil chemical properties in a raised, stale seedbed ...

Developing a simple soil erosion model including spatial variability in headwater catchments

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Hillslopes and stream channels are tightly linked in headwater catchments, where soil erosion on slopes is transported to channels depending on topography, soil properties, and ground cover conditions. Because these environments are highly spatially variable, geographic information system (GIS)‐based modeling approaches are effective for ...
