Background: Individuals with COPD have increased sensitivity to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) such as diesel exhaust (DE), but little is known about the acute effects of TRAP on exercise res
This article supports SDG's 13 and 15 by discussing the main findings from the Special Issue on the impact of global changes on soil biodiversity: from fauna, to fungi, soil organisms and microorganisms.
This article demonstrates that, by actively engaging in the interdependent phases of recognizing hybridity, enabling conditions for reflexivity and partnership building, 'inclusivity' tensions can not only be acknowledged but softened and, in some cases, reframed when managing for biodiversity, equity, and justice goals.
A research paper by Hannam 2022 underlines the complexities of soil and land degradation and the pursuit of Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN), emphasizing its integration into global policy frameworks like the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 15 and the Convention to Combat Desertification. It argues for essential reforms in soil governance, advocating for inclusive participation, legislative provisions, and practical guidance to ensure progress towards LDN targets while maintaining soil and ecosystem functions.

This article advances SDG # 15 and # 11 by investigating one of the factors leading to the global decline of bee populations. Pathogens, which need overcome the insect defenses such as the physical barriers, the body cuticle and peritrophic matrix (primary defenses), as well as the secondary defenses with antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and the enzyme lysozyme were evaluated according to cuticle maturation.
