The Amazon Basin is experiencing large-scale land use conversion from primary forest to pasture. While several land cover datasets map cleared areas in the Amazon, the percent cover of woody vegetation (trees and shrubs) on cleared areas and its rate of change during clearing is poorly understood, despite its importance for carbon emissions, biodiversity, land-atmosphere interactions, and monitoring of pasture condition. This study used temporal mixture analysis on Sentinel-2 imagery from 2019 to map woody vegetation cover on cleared areas in Rondonia, Brazil. Binary woody vegetation masks were generated at 10m resolution by applying a threshold of the evergreen endmember to the temporal mixture model, which resulted in an overall accuracy of 84%. The woody vegetation masks were then aggregated to 100m to obtain fractional estimates of woody vegetation density in cleared areas. While recently cleared areas (1-2 years) had high woody vegetation cover (60% on average), woody vegetation cover decreased with pasture age, and older pastures (20-34 years) had consistently low woody vegetation cover (25% on average). We find little evidence of large-scale abandonment of pasture: most (53%) pastures in 2019 were "clean" (<10% woody vegetation cover), with 34% "dirty" (10-90% woody vegetation cover), 10% forest (90-100% woody vegetation cover), and 3% early-stage clearing (>10% woody vegetation cover, cleared 1-5 years ago). The commonly observed decrease in greenness in cleared areas, which is sometimes interpreted as an indication of decreased grass health, appears to be due to decreasing woody vegetation density as pastures are gradually cleared over a decade. These results challenge existing conceptual models of deforestation, which suggest that conversion from primary forest to pasture is a rapid process with high rates of secondary growth-we find instead gradual and permanent clearing of woody vegetation and propose a revised conceptual model of deforestation dynamics.
