                         cropland expansion, cropland abandonment, and changing cropping 
                         frequency in Mato Grosso, Brazil from 2001 to 2011. During this 
                         period, Mato Grosso emerged as a globally important center of 
                         agricultural production. In 2001, 3.3 million hectares of 
                         mechanized agriculture were cultivated in Mato Grosso, of which 
                         500 000 hectares had two commercial crops per growing season 
                         (double cropping). By 2011, Mato Grosso had 5.8 million hectares 
                         of mechanized agriculture, of which 2.9 million hectares were 
                         double cropped. We found these agricultural changes to be 
                         selective with respect to land attributes - significant 
                         differences (p<0.001) existed between the land attributes of 
                         agriculture Versus non-agriculture, single cropping Versus double 
                         cropping, and expansion Versus abandonment. Many of the land 
                         attributes (elevation, slope, maximum temperature, minimum 
                         temperature, initial soy transport costs, and soil) that were 
                         associated with an increased likelihood of expansion were 
                         associated with a decreased likelihood of abandonment (p<0.001). 
                         While land similar to agriculture and double cropping in 2001 was 
                         much more likely to be developed for agriculture than all other 
                         land, new cropland shifted to hotter, drier, lower locations that 
                         were more isolated from agricultural infrastructure (p<0.001). The 
                         scarcity of high quality remaining agricultural land available for 
                         agricultural expansion in Mato Grosso could be contributing to the 
                         slowdown in agricultural expansion observed there over 2006 to 
                         2011. Land use policy analyses should control for land scarcity 
                         constraints on agricultural expansion. © 2014 IOP Publishing
