outstanding article - thanks for this!
looking forward to the solutions.

Dear author(s),

Thanks for this very impressive article! Well done. On the point of direct deforestation for large scale agriculture (soy) there is always much confusion and opposing views. I alway refer to this study:
Morton, et al. (2006) Cropland expansion changes deforestation dynamics in the southern Brazilian Amazon. Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences, 103 (39).

To prove large scale soy cultivation is (or was, I don't know how well the current moratorium works) also directly responsible for deforestation in the Amazon.

Where you aware of this study and does the 1% estimate from your article still hold taking this information in consideration?

Thanks for a reply.

kind regards,
