abstract = "In this paper we analyse the extent of fire-induced forest
degradation in Mato Grosso State, Brazil. We utilise a sample
based approach used in a previous pan-tropical deforestation
survey to derive information on land cover and burned areas in the
two major biomes of Mato Grosso: Amazon and Cerrado. Land cover
and burned area are mapped for three years (2000-2005-2010) over
77 sample sites (10000ha each) distributed systematically
throughout the state which covers 90.337 Mha. Our results indicate
continuing forest degradation by fires in the state and
potentially increasing fire susceptibility of the Amazon forests,
regardless of the decrease in deforestation. 2010 witnessed the
most extensive fire-induced forest degradation (\∼300000ha)
in the forests of the Amazon biome among the study years,
regardless of the fact that the fire season was less severe than
in 2005. Deforestation in the Amazon biome in Mato Grosso dropped
from 590000hayear-1 in the 2000-2005 period to 190000hayear-1 in
the second half of the decade. The findings of this study advocate
the inclusion of forest fire effects into carbon accounting
initiatives.",
