Map of the study area and the land-use history of the active shifting cultivation landscape retrieved by remote sensing.

Abstract

<p>(a) Map of the Amazon Basin indicating the location of the study area (green diamond). Landsat 8 image (September 29<sup>th</sup> 2014; band combination 6/5/2) of the study area (buffer zone) showing the location of riverine communities and respective number of households. The red square indicates the zoomed area represented in maps c and d. Maps show the land-use history of agricultural fields during the time period of 1985 until 2015. Segments represent pixels that have similar land-use history; (b) Map of the study area showing all the segments belonging to the swidden-fallow fields, i.e. which had at least one clear-cut event detected over the 1984–2015 period. Segments are coloured according to the date of the first clear-cut event detected by the BFAST analysis; (c) Map of the number of clear-cut events (slash and burn events) detected at each segment during the monitoring period; (d) Map of the age of secondary-forest-fallows in 2014 for each segment.</p
