Land use patterns and related carbon losses following deforestation in South America (2015, background): “Other research that links forest loss or forest carbon emissions to drivers used aggregated continental scale (Geist and Lambin 2002,Hosonuma et al 2012, Houghton 2012) or local scale data (Morton et al 2006, Barona et al 2010, Clark et al 2010, Müller et al 2012, 2014, Gibbs et al 2015).”
Environmental, Economic, and Social Consequences of the Oil Palm Boom (2020, background): “In the world’s most biodiverse savannah ecosystem, the Brazilian Cerrado, the moratorium does not apply, and soybean expansion remains sizeable (Gibbs et al. 2015).”
A Review of the Application of Optical and Radar Remote Sensing Data Fusion to Land Use Mapping and Monitoring (2016, background): “Improved ability to differentiate specific crops within broad crop land classes would strongly benefit this research, allowing understanding the complex linkages between different commodities and targeting interventions to improve the sustainability of commodity-specific supply chains [40,41].”
System complexity and policy integration challenges: The Brazilian Energy- Water-Food Nexus (2019, background): “It could potentially occupy land currently used for soybean crops or cattle, depending on prices, and trigger ever more complex cascades of ILUC and deforestation [46].”
Did Ranchers and Slaughterhouses Respond to Zero‐Deforestation Agreements in the Brazilian Amazon? (2016, background): “In response to a combination of government policies, supply chain interventions, and changes in market conditions, Amazon deforestation rates dropped by more than 80% between 2004 and 2014 (Figure S1; Arima et al. 2014; Nepstad et al. 2014; INPE 2014; Gibbs et al. 2015).”
