Annual trends in deforestation and forest fire-associated carbon emissions in the Brazilian Amazon. Linear trends (2003–2015) of annual a deforestation rates, b active fires counts, c reported Brazilian net land use and land cover change-related CO2 emission estimates4 (Net LULCC emissions) and d Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) CO total column data. Red circles indicate the analyzed drought years. Linear trends (black lines) are shown for statistically significant data. In a–d R2 is the coefficient of determination, p is the probability calculated at 95% confidence level and NS indicate non-significant trends. The relationship between the Net LULCC emissions and MOPITT CO total column with deforestation rates are shown in e. Symbols are grouped with different colours to separate the years according to four PPCDAm periods
