             abstract = "The Amazon region is home to half of the tropical forests. 
                         Historically, the occupation was limited by low soil fertility and 
                         distance of the great urban centers. Due to the expansion of 
                         timber industries, agriculture and livestock activities, 
                         deforestation has intensified significantly in the last decades. 
                         In this context, the present study has as main purposes to analyze 
                         the role of the fragmentation and edge effect in the occurrence 
                         and intensity of fires in forested areas in the Amazon. We used 
                         forest cover, heat active fires and FRP - Fire Radiative Power 
                         data. We performed landscape metrics; we made the correlation of 
                         the variables through linear regression, as well as test the 
                         significance of the FRP for different distances from the edges. We 
                         found that the fragmentation and edge effect strongly determine 
                         the occurrence of fires. Fire intensity was better related to 
                         fragmentation. We also identified that the fires are less intense 
                         only from the third kilometer from the edges in forest areas. 
                         About 95.31% and 98.33% of the fires occurred in the first 
                         kilometer from the edges in forest and deforested areas, 
                         respectively.",
