abstract = "Understanding spatial patterns of land use and land cover is
essential for studies addressing biodiversity, climate change and
environmental modeling as well as for the design and monitoring of
land use policies. The aim of this study was to create a detailed
map of land use land cover of the deforested areas of the
Brazilian Legal Amazon up to 2008. Deforestation data from and
uses were mapped with Landsat-5/TM images analysed with
techniques, such as linear spectral mixture model, threshold
slicing and visual interpretation, aided by temporal information
extracted from NDVI MODIS time series. The result is a high
spatial resolution of land use and land cover map of the entire
Brazilian Legal Amazon for the year 2008 and corresponding
calculation of area occupied by different land use classes. The
results showed that the four classes of Pasture covered 62% of the
deforested areas of the Brazilian Legal Amazon, followed by
Secondary Vegetation with 21%. The area occupied by Annual
Agriculture covered less than 5% of deforested areas; the
remaining areas were distributed among six other land use classes.
The maps generated from this project - called TerraClass - are
