             abstract = "Many of the worlds agricultural frontiers are located in the 
                         tropics. Crop and cattle expansion in these regions has a strong 
                         environmental impact. This paper examines land use and land cover 
                         transformations in Brazil, where large swaths of natural 
                         vegetation are being removed to make way for agricultural 
                         production. In Brazil, the land use dynamics are of great interest 
                         regarding the countrys sustainable development and climate 
                         mitigation actions, leading to the formulation and implantation of 
                         public policies and supply chain interventions to reduce 
                         deforestation. This paper uses temporal trajectory analysis to 
                         discuss the patterns of agricultural practices change in the 
                         different biomes of Mato Grosso State, one of Brazils agricultural 
                         frontiers. Taking yearly land use and cover classified images from 
                         2001 to 2017, we identified, quantified, and spatialized areas of 
                         stability, intensification, reduction, interchange, and expansion 
                         of single and double cropping. The LUC Calculus was used as a tool 
                         to extract information about trajectories and trajectories of 
                         change. Over two decades, the land use change trajectories uncover 
                         the interplay between forest removal, cattle raising, grain 
                         production, and secondary vegetation regrowth. We observed a 
                         direct relationship between the conversion of forest areas to 
                         pasture and of pasture to agriculture areas in the Amazon portion 
                         of the Mato Grosso State in different periods. Our results enable 
                         a better understanding of trends in agricultural practices.",
