The scale of information required to inform global climate change and biodiversity initiatives goes beyond traditional environmental monitoring and into the realms of big data. Halting deforestation and restoring the world’s forests is key to the success of such initiatives and there is growing recognition of the potential of large-scale restoration in the Amazon as a “nature-based solution” for both climate change and biodiversity loss. But our understanding of forest loss and recovery in the Amazon is incomplete. In this thesis I use MapBiomas, a 30-m resolution annual timeseries of Amazonian landcover from 1985 to 2020, to address knowledge gaps surrounding secondary forests and their role in carbon accumulation and habitat provisioning....
