  text: Partitioned estimates of the boreal forest carbon (C) sink components are
    crucial for understanding processes and developing science-driven adaptation and
    mitigation strategies under climate change. Here, we provide a concise tree-centered
    overview of the boreal forest C balance and offer a circumpolar perspective on
    the contribution of trees to boreal forest C dynamics. We combine an ant’s-eye
    view, based on quantitative in situ observations of C balance, with a bird’s-eye
    perspective on C dynamics across the circumboreal region using large-scale data
    sets. We conclude with an outlook addressing the trajectories of the circumboreal
    C dynamics in response to projected environmental changes.
