“…Various efforts have been taken to quantify high‐latitude carbon budgets through field studies (e.g., Belshe et al, 2013; Euskirchen et al, 2017; Fox et al, 2008; Hashemi et al, 2021; Helbig et al, 2017; Ueyama et al, 2014), the statistical upscaling of in situ flux observations (Jung et al, 2020; Peltola et al, 2019; Virkkala et al, 2021), Earth system modeling (Birch et al, 2021; McGuire et al, 2012; Wang et al, 2019; White et al, 2001), and the combination of atmospheric observations and modeling (Ciais et al, 2010; Hartery et al, 2018; Schiferl et al, 2022; Sweeney et al, 2020; Tan et al, 2016; Welp et al, 2016). In situ field studies provide the most direct approach for understanding and monitoring ecosystem carbon status.…”
