A Study of High‐Emission Industries: How Policy, Strategy, and Technology Shape Corporate Social Responsibility Toward Carbon Neutrality

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The extant carbon neutrality (CN) literature largely offers macro‐ or meso‐level analyses, providing limited insights into implementation experiences that could inform granular policymaking and industry strategies. To address this gap, we examine the lived CN experiences of firms in the transportation, energy, manufacturing, and construction ...

The Ecology of Tropical Wood

Wood serves for mechanical support, it transports and can store water and nutrients, and contributes to the defense of trees. These functions are reflected in the anatomical structure and the chemical composition of wood. The variation in wood traits among hundreds of species on BCI in combination with a large body of other data on these species have ...
