             abstract = "Secondary forests provide essential ecosystem services, especially 
                         in helping to mitigate climate change with the storage of carbon 
                         in the aboveground biomass of tree species. In this context, the 
                         present research aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of 
                         secondary forests and estimate the aboveground biomass 
                         accumulation of land cover of different ages in the state of 
                         Par{\'a}. The spatial patterns of the secondary forests in 
                         Par{\'a} state were evaluated with hot spot analysis algorithms 
                         using data from the TerraClass project for the 20042014 time 
                         period. The results showed that the spatial distribution of the 
                         secondary forests did not occur randomly in space, but suggested 
                         local geopolitical influences. The younger secondary forests had 
                         the most deforested areas during the study period. Approximately 
                         5% of Par{\'a} had its secondary forests deforested in 2014. In 
                         general, the balance of the secondary forests was positive. The 
                         aboveground biomass accumulation differed according to the 
                         secondary forest ages during the study period as evaluated in two 
                         pilot areas. It was observed that the secondary forests > 10 years 
                         old in pilot area A had an average of 23% of old-growth forest 
                         aboveground biomass in the same area, while in pilot area B, the 
                         secondary forests > 10 years old had an average of 32.7% of 
                         old-growth forest aboveground biomass.",
