  abstract = {{T}he current {A}mazon landscape consists of heterogeneous mosaics formed by interactions between the original forest and productive activities. {R}ecognizing and quantifying the characteristics of these landscapes is essential for understanding agricultural production chains, assessing the impact of policies, and in planning future actions. {O}ur main objective was to construct the regionalization of agricultural production for {R}ond{\^o}nia {S}tate ({B}razilian {A}mazon) at the municipal level. {W}e adopted a decision tree approach, using land use maps derived from remote sensing data ({PRODES} and {T}erra{C}lass) combined with socioeconomic data. {T}he decision trees allowed us to allocate municipalities to one of five agricultural production systems: (i) coexistence of livestock production and intensive agriculture; (ii) semi-intensive beef and milk production; (iii) semi-intensive beef production; (iv) intensive beef and milk production, and; (v) intensive beef production. {T}hese production systems are, respectively, linked to mechanized agriculture (i), traditional cattle farming with low management, with (ii) or without (iii) a significant presence of dairy farming, and to more intensive livestock farming with (iv) or without (v) a significant presence of dairy farming. {T}he municipalities and associated production systems were then characterized using a wide variety of quantitative metrics grouped into four dimensions: (i) agricultural production; (ii) economics; (iii) territorial configuration, and; (iv) social characteristics. {W}e found that production systems linked to mechanized agriculture predominate in the south of the state, while intensive farming is mainly found in the center of the state. {S}emi-intensive livestock farming is mainly located close to the southwest frontier and in the north of the state, where human occupation of the territory is not fully consolidated. {T}his distributional pattern reflects the origins of the agricultural production system of {R}ond{\^o}nia. {M}oreover, the characterization of the production systems provides insights into the pattern of occupation of the {A}mazon and the socioeconomic consequences of continuing agricultural expansion.},
