Abstract

Abstract Highly productive western Cascades forest soils are at risk of carbon and nitrogen losses from severe wildfire We found significant changes in forest floor and soil carbon stocks after wildfire Carbon stocks were approximately 40 Mg C ha −1 lower in the post‐fire period Two thirds of carbon differences (25 Mg C ha −1 ) were in the forest floor and one third (15 Mg C ha −1 ) was in the mineral soil This article is protected by copyright.
