abstract = "Abstract. The secondary forest covers large proportions of
Amazonia agricultural frontier, representing an important source
forest regeneration in the region. Some studies have addressed the
fact that the spatial distribution of secondary vegetation varies
according to the type of land use and land tenure. However, little
is known about the relationship between infra-structure, land
abandonment and secondary forest distribution in the Amazon. In
this study we measure the presence of secondary forest in relation
to the distance from the main and secondary roads in three
settlement regions with different ages and infra-structure
conditions along the Cuiab{\'a}-Santar{\'e}m Highway.
Preliminary results showed a positive relationship between
proximity from main and secondary roads and the percentage of the
deforested area covered by secondary vegetation in two of the
three study sites. The secondary forest located along the better
infra-structured area didn't show significant relationship with
roads. The results highlight the importance of road infrastructure
to understand the dynamics of land abandonment.",
