ABCFlux is focused around an Arctic-boreal carbon flux data compilation and synthesis activity. The activity is important because it supports research to better understand carbon cycling across the permafrost region, which is critical for understanding current and future carbon emissions from thawing permafrost – a key unknown
driver in global climate feedbacks. This synthesis can be used to address questions related to the magnitude, drivers and changes of ecosystem carbon exchange in the northern permafrost region, and will be a critical resource
for deriving bottom-up and top-down estimates of carbon fluxes.
