Additional production potential of seven major crops (rice, sugarcane, cassava, maize, soybean, sorghum and wheat), beef and milk on currently cultivated lands and importance of each municipality for conservation and restoration of natural vegetation. (A) Additional production potential in food energy (gigajoules per hectare) of all cultivated land (croplands and pasture) in each municipality. (B) Additional production potential adjusted to reflect contributions to domestic food production (excluding non-food uses, net exports and waste), as described in Methods. Protected areas, indigenous land and municipalities with zero additional potential are masked in white. (C) Importance for conservation, and (D) importance for restoration for terrestrial vertebrates (amphibians, birds and mammals). Conservation importance is calculated as the proportion of the remaining natural vegetation in each municipality, multiplied by the biodiversity importance. Biodiversity importance is calculated as the summed proportion of species’ ranges occurring at a location, calculated on a 1 km resolution grid, and averaged across grid cells in each municipality. Restoration importance is the proportion of cleared natural vegetation (excluding urban areas) multiplied by the biodiversity importance. Abbreviations refer to domains (AM: Amazon, PA: Pantanal, CE: Cerrado, CA: Caatinga, AF: Atlantic Forest and PP: Pampa).
