*Annual rate of degradation and conservation of land use/land cover (% lost ha/year).*

Assuming the dynamics recorded in the second period (2000–2015), the area of land covered by floodplain savannas of *Mitragyna inermis*, swamp grassland, water, and urban agglomeration/bare soil will decrease by 4.3%, 2.1%, 0.5%, and 17.8% considering their cover in 2000, respectively, while the areas covered by forests, savannas on drained soil, mosaic of crops and fallows, mangroves, and plantations will increase by 0.6%, 4.8%, 13%, 6%, and 0.4% of their cover in 2000, respectively.
