Looking beyond forest cover: an analysis of landscape-scale predictors of forest degradation in the Brazilian Amazon

Looking beyond forest cover: an analysis of landscape-scale predictors of forest degradation in the Brazilian Amazon

While forest degradation rates and extent exceed deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, less attention is given to the factors controlling its spatial distribution. No quantified correlation exists between changes of forest structure due to anthropogenic disturbances and dynamics of land use and cov...
