abstract = "Frontier forests in the Brazilian Amazon have been heavily altered
by nearly a half-century of deforestation for agriculture and
degradation from fire and logging. The long-term effects of forest
degradation on habitat structure and habitat use remain poorly
understood, largely due to the limitations of traditional field
methods for characterizing heterogeneity at relevant spatial and
temporal scales. This work demonstrates the opportunity to assess
degradation impacts on ecosystem structure and biodiversity at
landscape scales (200 km2) by combining airborne lidar and
acoustic remote sensing across two municipalities in Mato Grosso,
Feliz Natal and Nova Ubirata\̃. Among degradation classes,
our results indicate that repeated fire events have the most
destructive legacy for both habitat structure and habitat use.
Lidar analyses reveal that repeated fire events can result in a
total loss of original canopy trees. Similarly, our acoustic
analyses suggest that repeated fires may fundamentally transform
animal community composition. The combination of remote sensing
approaches bridges the scale gap between ground-based and
satellite observations to support a regional-scale investigation
into the complex consequences of Amazon forest degradation.",
