Research Focus: Carbon Storage & Moisture Dynamics in Semi-Arid Landscapes
Ana Paula Brito’s research focuses on the detailed study of carbon soil storage and moisture dynamics within semi-arid Tree Agricultural System Landscapes (TASL). Her work explores sustainable land management strategies that aim to enhance soil health and agricultural productivity in drylands regions.
Utilising advanced monitoring techniques, Ana Paula employs infrared and remote sensing technologies, including drone applications, to track and analyse carbon and nutrients in the soil, as well as infer soil moisture retention across multiple landscape scales.
Her fieldwork involves leading data collection initiatives using infiltrometers to measure water infiltration rates, ensuring the high-accuracy data necessary to support her research objectives.
Ana Paula collaborates with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders across Australia, offering valuable insights to farmers and policymakers. Her work strives to optimize land-use practices, enhancing carbon sequestration and promoting sustainable agriculture in semi-arid regions.
