abstract = "The data, information and knowledge on the tropical forest area
and dynamics in the Brazilian Amazon remain contentious. Here we
generated annual forest maps of the Brazilian Amazon for
2000-2017, which were then used to quantify the annual dynamics of
forest area, deforestation, and reforestation. Our annual forest
maps revealed ~15% more forest area but annual rates of
deforestation twice as high as those from the official Brazilian
forestry statistics (PRODES). Over 90% of deforested areas
occurred within 5-km of those areas deforested before 2002, a
strong indicator of the spatial expansion dynamics of
anthropogenic deforestation. Annual forest loss areas were high in
those drought years with large amounts of fire and active fire
events occurred in ~70% of deforested areas. Forest loss was
substantially reduced within protected areas. We also reported the
annual reforested area, which offset annual deforestation by about
21%.",
