Brazil has a monitoring system to track annual forest conversion in the Amazon and most recently monitor Cerrado biome. However, there is still gap of land use cover (LULC) information all Brazilian biomes country. Existing countrywide efforts map lack regularly updates high spatial resolution time-series data better understand historical dynamics, subsequent impacts country biomes. In this study, we described novel approach results achieved by multi-disciplinary network called MapBiomas...
Abstract High costs of tree planting are a barrier to meeting global forest restoration targets. Natural regeneration is more cost‐effective than planting, but its potential foster at scale poorly understood. We predict, map, and quantify natural within 75.5 M ha deforested lands in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Of 34.1 (26.4%) current cover, 2.7 (8.0%) regenerated naturally from 1996 2015. estimate that another 2.8 could regenerate by 2035, further 18.8 be restored using assisted methods,...
Widespread in the subtropics and tropics of Southern Hemisphere, savannas are highly heterogeneous seasonal natural vegetation types, which makes change detection (natural vs. anthropogenic) a challenging task. The Brazilian Cerrado represents largest savanna South America, most threatened biome Brazil owing to agricultural expansion. To assess native (NV) areas susceptible anthropogenic over time, we classified 33 years (1985–2017) Landsat imagery available Google Earth Engine (GEE)...
Understanding the dynamics of native forest loss and gain is critical for biodiversity conservation ecosystem services, especially in regions experiencing intense transformations. We quantified cover on an annual basis from 1990 to 2017 Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. Despite relative stability during this period (~28 Mha), ongoing older forests, mostly flatter terrains, have been hidden by increasing younger cover, marginal lands mechanized agriculture. Changes its spatial distribution increased...
Fire is a significant agent of landscape transformation on Earth, and dynamic ephemeral process that challenging to map. Difficulties include the seasonality native vegetation in areas affected by fire, high levels spectral heterogeneity due spatial temporal variability burned areas, distinct persistence fire signal, increase cloud smoke cover surrounding difficulty detecting understory signals. To produce large-scale time-series area, robust number observations more efficient sampling...
Tropical deforestation drivers are complex and can change rapidly in periods of profound societal transformation, such as those during a pandemic. Evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred illegal, opportunistic forest clearing tropical countries, threatening ecosystems their resident human communities. A total 9583 km2 alerts from Global Land Analysis & Discovery (GLAD) were detected across global tropics first month following implementation confinement measures local...
Achieving ambitious global restoration commitments is a huge challenge. The Atlantic Forest Restoration Pact, created in 2009 as movement to restore 15 Mha of degraded/deforested lands by 2050, pledged 1 towards the 2020 Bonn Challenge. We documented an estimated 673,510–740,555 ha native forests from 2011 2015 Forest, and expect that total 1.35–1.48 will be under recovery 2020. Pact one first Brazilian initiatives monitor international commitment demonstrate targets can reached. Part this...
Abstract Natural forest regeneration is a key component of global ecosystem restoration scenarios. Regenerated forests, however, may not persist and better understanding the drivers persistence critical to ensure success efforts. We used 35 years detailed land cover maps quantify study regenerated longevity in Brazilian Atlantic Forest, hotspot. mapped over 4.47 Mha native region between 1985 2019, which, two thirds persisted until 2019 (3.1 Mha). However, mean age ephemeral (i.e. cleared...
Abstract Amazon deforestation has been growing since 2012 and more recently under record rates. In fact, a new wave of rainforest destruction is on, challenging environmental agencies policymakers. Political negligence boosted in the Amazon, when coupled with drives that we already know about, as well exempting offenders clearing way to major infrastructure projects, addition weakening command control policies. this letter, share perspectives on dynamics alerts Brazilian action public...
Abstract The Atlantic Forest in South America (AF) is one of the world’s most diverse and threatened biodiversity hotspots. We present a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis 34 years AF landscape change between 1986-2020. analyzed metrics forest vegetation only (FV), plus other natural (NV), investigated sensitivity to linear infrastructure. Currently, remnants comprise about 23% FV 36% NV, have decreased by 2.4% 3.6% since 1986, respectively. Linear infrastructure negatively affected large...
Frente ao cenário atual de alterações do uso e cobertura da terra os impactos ambientais negativos decorrentes dessas mudanças, é indispensável que sejam criados aprimorados mecanismos para a gestão bacias hidrográficas.O objetivo presente trabalho foi identificar como as na bacia rio Paraguaçu influenciam nas mudanças espaço/temporais disponibilidade hídrica. A hidrográfica está situada no centro leste estado Bahia. Os dados foram obtidos MapBiomas, qual utilizou-se informações dos anos...
The Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA) is undertaking extensive high-resolution geophysical and geotechnical studies over two areas proposed for the development of offshore windfarms in Portugal, surveying an area circa 2000 km2.

Although deforestation remains widespread in the tropics, many places are now experiencing significant forest recovery (i.e., transition), offering an optimistic outlook for natural ecosystem and carbon sequestration. Naturally regenerated forests, however, may not persist, so a more nuanced understanding of drivers change tropics is critical to ensure success reforestation efforts sequestration targets. Here we use 35 years detailed land cover data investigate trajectories 3014...
Due to different combinations of agriculture, livestock and forestry managed by rotation, succession intercropping practices, integrated agriculture production systems such as crop–livestock (iCL) constitute a very complex target challenge for automatic mapping cropping practices based on remote sensing data. The overall objective this study was develop classification strategy the annual Crop–Livestock at regional scale. This designed tested in six agro-climatic regions Mato Grosso, largest...
Abstract Policymakers’ incentives during election campaigns can lead to decisions that significantly affect deforestation. Yet this is rarely studied. For Brazil's Atlantic Forest, a highly biodiverse tropical forest, we link federal‐and‐state as well municipal elections annual deforestation between 1991 and 2014. Across 2253 municipalities, those with higher see significant rise in years. Municipal years raise for locations lower deforestation, whereas all of these increases are accentuated...
The scientific grasp of the distribution and dynamics land use cover (LULC) changes in South America is still limited. This especially true for continent’s hyperarid, arid, semiarid, dry subhumid zones, collectively known as drylands, which are under-represented ecosystems that highly threatened by climate change human activity. Maps LULC drylands are, thus, essential order to investigate their vulnerability both natural anthropogenic impacts. paper comprehensively reviewed existing mapping...

The Atlantic Forest the Amazon among most important tropical of world but have different conservation status. first is below its minimum threshold biodiversity while approaching dieback threshold. Aiming to examine policy lessons from which could be applied Amazon, we analysed forest cover basins compared reality Forest.
