Amazon land use duration

 We access the land use and land cover time series product available for the Amazon for the year 1985-2019 (MapBiomass collection 6). The MapBiomas is based on the classification of Landsat images, map of annual land use and land cover at 30 m spatial resolution. We initially classified each pixel in each plot within site following MapBiomaClass and we reclassified in Forest, Secondary-forest, deforestation and others for each year in a temporal series 1985-2019. The land use duration was calculated as the number of years that the pixel was classified as non-forest cover.
