ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The authors thank the National Science Foundation, which through grants 91-00526 and 93-10049 has provided support for these five Amazonian land-use studies. Support for carbon modeling has been provided by the Midwestern Regional Center of the National Institute for Global Environmental Change. Support to the second author from the Indiana Center for Global Change and World Peace and NASA's Global Change Fellowship Program (3708-GC94-0096) is gratefully appreciated. The work reported on here is the product of the efforts of many on our team. From the United States are J. C. Randolph, Amy Gras, Alissa Packer, JoAnne Michael, Joanna Tucker, M.

We extend our appreciation also to Ronald Rindfuss, who provided valuable comments, and to Paul Mausel and the Department of Geography and Geology at Indiana State University, especially the staff of their Remote Sensing and GIS Laboratory, for wise counsel at many stages of our work. We also wish to thank the many local people who answered our questions about their uses of land with such good humor and insight.
