abstract = "Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is related to the use of
fire to remove natural vegetation and install crop cultures or
pastures. In this study, we evaluated the relation between
deforestation, land-use and land-cover (LULC) drivers and fire
emissions in the Apyterewa Indigenous Land, Eastern Brazilian
Amazon. In addition to the official Brazilian deforestation data,
we used a geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) approach
to perform the LULC mapping in the Apyterewa Indigenous Land, and
the Brazilian biomass burning emission model with fire radiative
power (3BEM_FRP) to estimate emitted particulate matter with a
diameter less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5), a primary human health risk.
The GEOBIA approach showed a remarkable advancement of
deforestation, agreeing with the official deforestation data, and,
consequently, the conversion of primary forests to agriculture
within the Apyterewa Indigenous Land in the past three years (200
km2 ), which is clearly associated with an increase in the PM2.5
emissions from fire. Between 2004 and 2016 the annual average
emission of PM2.5 was estimated to be 3594 ton year\−1 ,
while the most recent interval of 20172019 had an average of 6258
ton year\−1 . This represented an increase of 58% in the
annual average of PM2.5 associated with fires for the study
period, contributing to respiratory health risks and the air
quality crisis in Brazil in late 2019. These results expose an
ongoing critical situation of intensifying forest degradation and
potential forest collapse, including those due to a savannization
forest-climate feedback, within protected areas in the Brazilian
Amazon. To reverse this scenario, the implementation of
sustainable agricultural practices and development of conservation
policies to promote forest regrowth in degraded preserves are
essential.",
