The Net Ecosystem Carbon Balance (NECB) is a crucial metric for understanding integrated carbon dynamics in Arctic and boreal regions, which are vital to the global cycle. These areas associated with significant uncertainties rapid climate change, potentially leading unpredictable alterations dynamics. This mini-review examines key components of NECB, including sequestration, methane emissions, lateral transport, herbivore interactions, disturbances, while integrating insights from recent permafrost region greenhouse gas budget syntheses. We emphasize need holistic approach quantify incorporating all their uncertainties. review highlights methodological advances flux measurements, improvements eddy covariance automatic chamber techniques, as well progress modeling approaches data assimilation. Key research priorities identified, such improving representation inland waters process-based models, expanding monitoring networks, enhancing integration long-term field observations approaches. efforts essential accurately quantifying current future budgets rapidly changing northern landscapes, ultimately informing more effective change mitigation strategies ecosystem management practices. aligns goals Monitoring Assessment Program (AMAP) Conservation Flora Fauna (CAFF), providing important policymakers, researchers, stakeholders working understand protect these sensitive ecosystems.
