Abstract: The agricultural dynamics of soybean expansion have long been recognized as a major driver of excessive land cover change on the southwestern border of the Brazilian Amazon. The hypothesis that the soybean market exerts an influence on land use was investigated by the association between economic indicators and soybean crop dynamics in the state of Mato Grosso (western Brazil). We integrated a historical series of satellite data of soybean cropland expansion and the two main economic variables (selling prices … Show more

“…Soybean crop area has expanded 275% over the last 20 years (IBGE, 2014). The total land-use shift into soybean in MT from 2001 to 2011 was almost 8.7 million ha, of which almost 3.5 million ha belonged to the Brazilian Amazon biome and most of these areas are currently being gradually abandoned (Gusso et al, 2017).…”

“…Grecchi, et al (2013) [62] and Beuchle, et al (2015) [63] expose how Cerrado land use has changed due to agriculture, and Spera et al (2016) [64] analyzes how these changes affect water recycling. Rudorff, et al (2015) [65] geospatially analyze crop dynamics over the last fifteen years to expand understandings of land cover patterns and changes, and Jepson and Brannstrom (2010) [66], and Gusso et al (2017) [67] explicate economic patterns and influences that lead to high-input agricultural expansion in the biome. Arantes et al (2016) [68] analyze current carbon and water reserves and indicate what future changes are likely to occur.…”

“…From 2005 onward, deforestation rates fell; the authors could no longer find a significant correlation between agricultural expansion and forest loss in their study region. Gusso et al [23] studied direct conversion from forest to soybeans in the State of Mato Grosso from 2001 to 2013. The authors compared soybean expansion area, soy prices, and soy production costs.…”
