A new study from the University of Portsmouth has uncovered a dramatic collapse in traditional meadowland across the lower Rother catchment in the South Downs, West Sussex, with losses of up to 99.9 per cent since the mid-19th century.
Using digitised Victorian tithe maps of the catchment, researchers compared historical records from around 1840 with modern land cover data from 2021. The results reveal how shifts in farming practices, land ownership and environmental policy have transformed the English countryside.
Between 2012 and 2022, a national target of 4 million STEM degrees earned in the United States was surpassed by 16%, cumulatively totaling 4.65 STEM degrees over that decade. This exceeded a projected need of 4 million, which was one million more than the baseline projection. This study also emphasized that keeping and improving national‐level data collection is critical for sustaining STEM education progress and policy oversight.
