Abstract

Fires are commonly used in the Cerrado biome to renovate pastures and clean agricultural land. However, its use is also associated with deforestation and the implementation of agricultural activities. In this sense, the objective of this work is to provide the mapping and subsequent analysis of spatial patterns and temporal trends in the occurrence of fires in the Cerrado biome recorded between 1999 and 2018. of Queimadas (BDQueimadas/INPE) were counted according to the microregions defined by the IBGE and analyzed using spatial attributes, spatial autocorrelation statistics and the Emerging Hot Spot Analysis tool. The results showed concentration and high spatial association of fire outbreaks in micro-regions located near the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia (MATOPIBA region), in addition to Mato Grosso (Deforestation Arch) and northern Goiás, regions notably recognized as frontiers of expansion of agricultural activities in the biome
