abstract = "Human activities pose a major threat to tropical forest
biodiversity and ecosystem services. Although the impacts of
deforestation are well studied, multiple land-use and land-cover
transitions (LULCTs) occur in tropical landscapes, and we do not
know how LULCTs differ in their rates or impacts on key ecosystem
components. Here, we quantified the impacts of 18 LULCTs on three
ecosystem components (biodiversity, carbon, and soil), based on 18
variables collected from 310 sites in the Brazilian Amazon. Across
all LULCTs, biodiversity was the most affected ecosystem
component, followed by carbon stocks, but the magnitude of change
differed widely among LULCTs and individual variables. Forest
clearance for pasture was the most prevalent and high-impact
transition, but we also identified other LULCTs with high impact
but lower prevalence (e.g., forest to agriculture). Our study
demonstrates the importance of considering multiple ecosystem
components and LULCTs to understand the consequences of human
activities in tropical landscapes.",
