                         Brazilian Amazon, the current gross forest loss of 6207 km2 year-1 
                         remains significant, promoting continuous habitat fragmentation. 
                         This study assessed the status of forest fragmentation in 2014 
                         across the Brazilian Amazon applying a Morphological Spatial 
                         Pattern Analysis (MSPA). Our analysis provides the first 
                         60-m-resolution fragmentation map for the entire Brazilian Amazon, 
                         including not only the commonly evaluated fragmentation classes 
                         such as core, edge and islet, but also four specific metrics 
                         measuring the effects of fragmentation on forest patterns 
                         (perforation, bridge, loop and forest branches). Areas of intense 
                         forest fragmentation were detected not only along the arc of 
                         deforestation of the eastern and southern Brazilian Amazon but in 
                         other regions as well. Considering a 1020-m edge width, we found 
                         that 28% (*891,000 km2 ) of the remnant forest was in noncore 
                         classes. Among these classes, bridge (i.e., forest corridors too 
                         narrow to contain core area) was the most representative (10.8%). 
                         The proportion of core area varied greatly among states, from 
                         82.8% of the remaining forest in Amazonas to 26.1 and 13.5% in 
                         Maranhao and Tocantins, respectively. The detailed diagnosis of 
                         tropical forest fragmentation is a critical step for proposing 
                         solutions to maintain the stability of tropical forest services, 
                         including carbon storage, water and nutrient cycling, and 
                         biodiversity.",
