Carbon sequestration is one of the most important ecological functions and services provided by forests in any catchment area. In addition, recent international framework requires detailed and accurate estimation of forest carbon stock, actual and potential forest carbon sequestration at national, regional, and administrative district scales under ongoing climate change. We, therefore, present an example of estimated change in potential carbon sequestration in a mountainous region of Japan under ongoing climate change at a spatial resolution of 1 km. In addition to (1) illustrating the importance of monitoring carbon processes in the field for simulating carbon fluxes at the regional scale and (2) characterizing changes in carbon sequestration in response to climate change in mountainous regions with large environmental gradients, we discuss (3) future directions of research on regional-scale carbon flux simulations from three distinct vantage points: ecological, forestry, and climatological/meteorological. Consequently, overcoming the challenges for three distinct vantage points will require not only further advances in individual disciplines but, also, interdisciplinary research by members of the ecology-atmospheric science community as well as transdisciplinary research linking ecology, forestry, and sociology.
