| Description/Abstract | Attention to differential patterns and rates of secondary succession on deforested land in the Amazon Basin can help formulate future policies.^Amazon deforestation is driven by policies that favor cattle over people as occupants of the frontier, not primarily population growth as in Asia.^Deforestation has transformed Brazil into the world`s fourth major contributor of carbon to the atmosphere.^This article discusses the following topics: How and why deforestation occured; use of Landsat satellite data to study deforestation and vegetation patterns; analytical procedures for satellite data analysis; Transamazon highway vegetational change.^62 refs., 5 figs., 3 tabs. |
