Abstract
Wildfires and deforestation are severe threats to global ecosystems. In Brazil, Cerrado (a tropical savanna) and Pantanal (a tropical wetland) biomes have undergone several changes over the years due to anthropic actions. Both deforestation in Cerrado biome and wildfires in Pantanal have increased lately. Some studies argue that both processes could be related, but there is a scarcity of quantitative analysis evaluating that. In this context, making use of machine learning techniques and temporal data obtained by Remote Sensing in the period 2000–2020, this study aimed to identify the interactions between Cerrado land use and land cover change in native vegetation and wildfires incidence in Pantanal. Our results corroborate that and show that wildfires in Pantanal were directly linked to large-scale and commodities agriculture conversion in Cerrado, as well as native vegetation loss and hydrological changes in Pantanal.
期刊介绍：
Wetlands is an international journal concerned with all aspects of wetlands biology, ecology, hydrology, water chemistry, soil and sediment characteristics, management, and laws and regulations. The journal is published 6 times per year, with the goal of centralizing the publication of pioneering wetlands work that has otherwise been spread among a myriad of journals. Since wetlands research usually requires an interdisciplinary approach, the journal in not limited to specific disciplines but seeks manuscripts reporting research results from all relevant disciplines. Manuscripts focusing on management topics and regulatory considerations relevant to wetlands are also suitable. Submissions may be in the form of articles or short notes. Timely review articles will also be considered, but the subject and content should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief (NDSU.wetlands.editor@ndsu.edu) prior to submission. All papers published in Wetlands are reviewed by two qualified peers, an Associate Editor, and the Editor-in-Chief prior to acceptance and publication. All papers must present new information, must be factual and original, and must not have been published elsewhere.
