Macamo then takes the soil samples back to the laboratory to process them: here, the samples are dried, weighed, burned and weighed again. Burning them releases CO2 from the organic matter, so Macamo can estimate the carbon content by measuring the difference in mass between the dried and the burnt samples. Macamo, who did her
