Histogram connecting forest loss and fires in the Dry (a) and Wet (b) Chaco, showing the forest loss fraction and the year lag between the forest loss and the fire detections over each pixel. For a pre-selection of pixels that burnt only once through the period 2001–2019 and that were forest in 2001 and something else by 2019, we calculated the time distance between the year of the fire detection (N) and the moment of the forest loss (negative when the deforestation precedes fires, and positive when deforestation occurs after the fire). Land cover data was retrieved from the LandCoverCCI product at 300 m and the fire detections were retrieved from the FireCCI51 product rescaled to 300 m
