Image Caption: This near vertical photograph illustrates the differences in agricultural land patterns typically seen in many parts of southwestern Brazil, near the Bolivian border (fig. 9). The larger rectangular field patterns reflect a mature, fully developed agricultural environment. The smaller areas are less well defined and indicate new agricultural development. Photographs such as this one provide scientists with insight into the rate at which the tropical rain forest and its marginal transition zones are being altered by human activity.
