Spatial variation of deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon: A complex theater for agrarian technology, agrarian structure and governance by surveillance. Land Use Policy, 30: 915-924De Souza, Rodrigo Anto
To the Editor — In 2012, Brazil achieved an unprecedented feat among tropical countries by reducing deforestation rates in Amazonia by 84% (4,571 km2) compared to the historical peak of 2004, when 27,772 km2 of forests were clear-cut1 (Fig. 1). This achievement resulted from multiple ...
The rate of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has declined in recent years. Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) data from 2000 to 2015 show a high annual deforestation level in 2004 (27,772 km2), dropping to the third lowest annual amount in 2015 (5831 km2). Neverthe...
Deforestation in the Brazilian Legal Amazon remains a challenge due to its detrimental effects on ecosystems and the associated increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Such deforestation can be driven by foreign demand in terms of international exports, as well as domestic demand. However, most efforts...
However, the effect of tenure security on deforestation is theoretically ambiguous, and credible empirical evidence is lacking. We analyse the responses of 10,647 landholders between 2011 and 2016 to a large-scale land-titling programme called Terra Legal in the Brazilian Amazon, set to regulate ...
But after that the forest faced another threat: Jair Bolsonaro, the new president, and arguably the most environmentally dangerous head of state in the world. From 2004 to 2012 the rate of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon slowed. The government’s environmental protection agency, Ibama, was...

The temporal soil erodibility KJ factor was highest in May 1990 (0.194) and June 2019 (0.2). Slopes varied between 0% and 56%, with LS values exceeding 16. The deforestation rate in the Boubo coastal watershed was 65.49% from 1992 to 2019. The mean soil loss rate in June was 0.048 ...
Spatial–temporal dynamics of aboveground biomass (AGB) and forest area affect the carbon cycle, climate and biodiversity in the Brazilian Amazon. Here we investigate interannual changes in AGB and forest area by analysing satellite-based annual AGB and
