The Arctic is rapidly warming, with stronger effects than observed elsewhere in the world. Determining whether the Arctic is continuing to take up carbon from the atmosphere or instead releasing it to the atmosphere is an urgent research priority, particularly as the climate warms. A new study now provides the first estimate of regional carbon budget for tundra in Western Russia for the 10-year period from 2006 to 2015.
