abstract = "A prominent goal of policies mitigating climate change and
biodiversity loss is to achieve zero deforestation in the global
supply chain of key commodities, such as palm oil and soybean.
However, the extent and dynamics of deforestation driven by
commodity expansion are largely unknown. Here we mapped annual
soybean expansion in South America between 2000 and 2019 by
combining satellite observations and sample field data. From 2000
to 2019, the area cultivated with soybean more than doubled from
26.4\ Mha to 55.1\ Mha. Most soybean expansion
occurred on pastures originally converted from natural vegetation
for cattle production. The most rapid expansion occurred in the
Brazilian Amazon, where soybean area increased more than tenfold,
from 0.4\ Mha to 4.6\ Mha. Across the continent, 9%
of forest loss was converted to soybean by 2016. Soybean-driven
deforestation was concentrated at the active frontiers, nearly
half located in the Brazilian Cerrado. Efforts to limit future
deforestation must consider how soybean expansion may drive
deforestation indirectly by displacing pasture or other land uses.
Holistic approaches that track land use across all commodities
coupled with vegetation monitoring are required to maintain
critical ecosystem services.",
