In established frontiers, land scarcity arises in part due to land kept idle by large land owners, leading to a process of land concentration.
“In addition, as argued by Walker and Homma (1996), in established frontiers, land scarcity arises in part due to land kept idle by large land owners, leading to a process of land concentration.”

Some authors assign a role for the concentrated pattern of land occupation as a motivation for deforestation, because it results in exclusion from access to land.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
