  abstract = {{U}nderstanding spatial patterns of land use and land cover is essential for studies addressing biodiversity, climate change and environmental modeling as well as for the design and monitoring of land use policies. {T}he aim of this study was to create a detailed map of land use land cover of the deforested areas of the {B}razilian {L}egal {A}mazon up to 2008. {D}eforestation data from and uses were mapped with {L}andsat-5/{TM} images analysed with techniques, such as linear spectral mixture model, threshold slicing and visual interpretation, aided by temporal information extracted from {NDVI} {MODIS} time series. {T}he result is a high spatial resolution of land use and land cover map of the entire {B}razilian {L}egal {A}mazon for the year 2008 and corresponding calculation of area occupied by different land use classes. {T}he results showed that the four classes of {P}asture covered 62% of the deforested areas of the {B}razilian {L}egal {A}mazon, followed by {S}econdary {V}egetation with 21%. {T}he area occupied by {A}nnual {A}griculture covered less than 5% of deforested areas; the remaining areas were distributed among six other land use classes. {T}he maps generated from this project - called {T}erra{C}lass - are available at {INPE}'s web site (http://www.inpe.br/cra/projetos_pesquisasherradass2008.php).},
