Can climate action go hand in hand with the needs of local Amazonian communities? A research team from Linköping University is investigating this question through interdisciplinary work with communities in the Mamirauá Reserve, Brazil.

It is well-known that trees help the climate by taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. But it is now clear that trees have another important role to play.

A mystery has finally been solved. Researchers from LiU and Helmholtz Munich have discovered that a certain type of chemical reaction can explain why organic matter found in rivers and lakes is so resistant to degradation.

The journey on the river from Tefé to the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve in Brazil normally takes around three hours. But things are not normal the researchers from Linköping discover.

Methane emissions via trees growing in the Amazon basin equal the emissions from all of the world’s oceans or the Arctic tundra wetlands, according to a new study by scientists from, among others, Linköping University in Sweden.
