                         indicate that most of the Brazilian Amazon has potential for being 
                         covered by tropical forests. From current land-use processes 
                         observed in the region, however, substantial deforestation and 
                         fire activity have been verified in large portions of the region, 
                         particularly along the Arc of Deforestation. In a first attempt to 
                         evaluate the long-term potential for tropical-forest degradation 
                         due to deforestation and fires in the Brazilian Amazon, we 
                         analysed large-scale data on fire activity and climate factors 
                         that drive the distribution of tropical forests in the region. The 
                         initial analyses and results from this study lead to important 
                         details on the relations between these quantities and have 
                         important implications for building future parameterizations of 
                         the vulnerability of tropical forests in the region.",
