                         after forest is cleared in Brazilian Amazon. Deforestation maps 
                         derived from thematic mapper (TM) imagery were used to sample 
                         random areas of old and recent settlement, and small and large 
                         farms. TM data were then used to classify SV in the selected 
                         areas. Results showed that SV represented higher fractions of the 
                         landscape in areas of more recent and small-farm settlement than 
                         in areas of old and large-farm settlement. These findings 
                         emphasize the importance of considering the long-term evolution of 
                         land use systems if the relationship between secondary succession, 
                         land rotation and abandonment is to be better understood.",
