This file contains a regular grid of 10 x10 km with the identification of the predominant agropastoral production systems at the cellular level in Rondônia State, in the Brazilian Amazon.

To perform this classification, a decision tree was used, applied in landscape metrics based on deforestation (PRODES data), land use/cover (TerraClass data) and distance matrices to landscape elements of regional infrastructure of roads and agricultural manufacture plants of local production. The mean values of such metrics retrieved from land use/cover data were used in a decision tree classification method allowing the identification of seven classes of agricultural production systems plus two other classes of forest domain.

Cells were classified in Forest Domain (FD); Initial Front (IF), Coexistence Area (CA); Dominant Agriculture (DA); Strict Agriculture (SA); Intensified Beef (IB); Intensified Beef Milk (IBM); Not Intensified Beef (NIB) or Not Intensified Beef Milk (NIBM).
