ABSTRACT Several anthropogenic activities in tropical forests, including deforestation and fragmentation, have led to intensive forest degradation. In fact, edges adjacent land‐uses can be more exposed abiotic changes consequently lead vegetation deterioration interiors. However, there is still a lack of information on how temporal land use impact the degradation forests. Here, we investigate influence landscape context explaining patterns over 35 years two regions exhibiting different threatened Atlantic Forest. Using Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) Enhanced Vegetation (EVI), assessed center 50 remnants. particular, estimated these indices metrics time series from 1985 2020, at 5‐year interval, based MapBiomas land‐use classification Landsat imagery. Then, used generalized linear mixed models assess NDMI EVI. Our results indicated that was intensified according increase agricultural cover, although sites inserted heterogeneous landscapes showed reduced (i.e., an EVI). We also observed remnants surrounded by greater cover decline NDMI, especially initial series. therefore emphasize importance curbing expansion reduce long‐term Forest suggest monitoring quality using spectral indices.
