The term "flux footprint" generally refers to the area or region over which a specific flux, such as greenhouse gas emissions, is measured or has an effect. In environmental science, particularly in the context of micrometeorology and ecosystem studies, it is often used to describe the spatial area that contributes to the measurement of vertical fluxes of gases (like carbon dioxide, water vapor, etc.) above the surface of the Earth.
