Extrapolating biosphere-atmosphere CO2 flux observations to larger scales in space, part of the so-called “upscaling” problem, is a central challenge for surface-atmosphere exchange research. Upscaling CO2 flux in tundra is complicated by the pronounced spatial variability of vegetation cover. We de...
