                         reducing carbon emissions within the Brazilian Nationally 
                         Determined Contribution targets assumed under the Paris Agreement. 
                         Understanding the dynamics of forest cover, which steeply 
                         decreased between 1985 and 2018 throughout Brazil, is essential 
                         for estimating the global carbon balance and quantifying the 
                         provision of ecosystem services. To know the long-term increment, 
                         extent, and age of secondary forests is crucial; however, these 
                         variables are yet poorly quantifed. Here we developed a 30-m 
                         spatial resolution dataset of the annual increment, extent, and 
                         age of secondary forests for Brazil over the 19862018 period.

                         4.1) were used as input data for our algorithm, implemented in the 
                         Google Earth Engine platform. This dataset provides critical 
                         spatially explicit information for supporting carbon emissions

                         environmental science applications, territorial planning, and
