Schematic representation of how processes resulting in AGC change in the Amazon Biome can be diagnosed based on EO observations. Processes represented are deforestation, degradation including fires and selective logging, forest growth in old-growth, secondary forest or degraded forest areas and regrowth of forests on previously deforested areas. The data points represent the difference in forest cover and AGC between 2011 and 2018 for 0.25° grid-cells. AGC was derived from SMOS-IC v2 L-VOD data [102] and forest cover was derived from the Mapbiomas Amazonia collection 2 land-cover dataset. Arrows illustrate possible change vectors
