abstract = "Secondary forests provide essential ecosystem services, especially
in helping to mitigate climate change with the storage of carbon
in the aboveground biomass of tree species. In this context, the
present research aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of
secondary forests and estimate the aboveground biomass
accumulation of land cover of different ages in the state of
Par{\'a}. The spatial patterns of the secondary forests in
Par{\'a} state were evaluated with hot spot analysis algorithms
using data from the TerraClass project for the 20042014 time
period. The results showed that the spatial distribution of the
secondary forests did not occur randomly in space, but suggested
local geopolitical influences. The younger secondary forests had
the most deforested areas during the study period. Approximately
5% of Par{\'a} had its secondary forests deforested in 2014. In
general, the balance of the secondary forests was positive. The
aboveground biomass accumulation differed according to the
secondary forest ages during the study period as evaluated in two
pilot areas. It was observed that the secondary forests > 10 years
old in pilot area A had an average of 23% of old-growth forest
aboveground biomass in the same area, while in pilot area B, the
secondary forests > 10 years old had an average of 32.7% of
old-growth forest aboveground biomass.",
