TLDR
In this article, the authors quantify the soil greenhouse gas (GHG) balance after the conversion of native vegetation (NV) to pasture and agricultural land by evaluating changes in C stocks and N2O and CH4 fluxes, concluding that only the implementation of CPR proved to be a good strategy to mitigate soil GHG emissions in Brazilian Cerrado.About:

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a new approach to map the extent and the timing of abandoned cropland using the entire Landsat time series, and test this approach in 14 study regions across the globe that capture a wide range of environmental conditions as well as the three major causes of abandonment, i.e., social, economic, and environmental factors.

Determinants of crop-livestock integration in Brazil: Evidence from the household and regional levels
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the determinants of integrated crop-livestock systems (iCL) occurrence in Mato Grosso state, a globally important producer of beef cattle and grains that has experienced rapid land cover change and environmental degradation in recent decades.

Reducing Amazon Deforestation through Agricultural Intensification in the Cerrado for Advancing Food Security and Mitigating Climate Change
Carlos Eduardo Pellegrino Cerri,Carlos Clemente Cerri,Stoécio Malta Ferreira Maia,Maurício Roberto Cherubin,Brigitte Josefine Feigl,Rattan Lal +5 more
TL;DR: Based on 35-years of data from Brazil, this article reported that C emissions from agroecosystems are 4 to 5.5 times greater by bringing new land under production in Amazon than in the Cerrado for pastures and cropland production, respectively.
