MapBiomas

MapBiomas is a multi-institutional initiative involving universities, NGOs and technology companies that have come together to contribute to understanding the transformations of the Brazilian territory through the annual mapping of land cover and land use in Brazil

LAND COVER AND LAND USE IN BRAZIL

Reviewed historical series

MapBiomas Collection 5 data show the 35 years (1985 to 2019) of Brazil's annual land cover and use maps on a 30 m scale with improvements in accuracy in the biomes and new classes of agriculture. The new limit of biomes on a scale of 1:250,000 from IBGE has already been used.

More classes and data layers

The number of classes mapped in Collection 5 increased from 19 to 21, including soy (2000-2019), cane, and perennial crop classes (beta version). Maps of the irrigated agriculture in Brazil (2000-2018) and pasture quality (2010 and 2018) were produced both in beta version.

Deforestation and regeneration

Data of native vegetation suppression and regeneration data for all Brazilian biomes covering the period of 1988 to 2017.

Infrastructure Information

Historical data on Brazil's energy, transportation, and mining infrastructure were incorporated including roads, railways, airports, hydroelectric, thermoelectric, and transmission lines, among others.
