                         well-being. In the world, Brazil has the largest continuous area 
                         of these forests. However, in the state of Maranh{\~a}o, in the 
                         eastern Amazon, only 24% of the original forest cover remains. We 
                         integrated and analyzed active fires, burned area, land use and 
                         land cover, rainfall, and surface temperature datasets to 
                         understand forest fragmentation and forest fire dynamics from a 
                         remote sensing approach. We found that forest cover in the 
                         Maranh{\~a}o Amazon region had a net reduction of 31,302 km2 
                         between 1985 and 2017, with 63% of losses occurring in forest core 
                         areas. Forest edges extent was reduced by 38%, while the size of 
                         isolated forest patches increased by 239%. Forest fires impacted, 
                         on average, around 1031 ± 695 km2 year\−1 of forest edges 
                         between 2003 and 2017, the equivalent of 60% of the total burned 
                         forest in this period. Our results demonstrated that forest 
                         fragmentation is an important factor controlling temporal and 
                         spatial variability of forest fires in the eastern Amazon region. 
                         Thus, both directly and indirectly, forest fragmentation can 
                         compromise biodiversity and carbon stocks in this Amazon region.",
