Herd growth, pastureland, and meat production in the Amazon and Cerrado from 1987 to 2013. For calculation of pastureland, we integrated data by state on deforestation in the Cerrado (LAPIG, 2014) and in the Amazon (INPE, 2014), as well as cropland time series (CONAB, 2014). LAPIG’s data was extrapolated to 1987 by using the average for years 2002–2004. Pastureland as of 2012 comes from Soares-Filho et al. (2014). Meat production comes from Instituto FNP (2013); heard size comes from (IBGE, 2013). Statistics include the states of Acre, Rondônia, Amazonas, Roraima, Amapá, Pará, Maranhão, Mato Grosso e Tocantins. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1525/elementa.224.f5
