Add to ORKGThe large boreal carbon (C) stocks in Alaska are vulnerable to losses from disturbance, such as clear-cut logging and deforestation for agricultural devel-opment. Here we investigated impacts of logging in uplands and agricultural deforestation in lowlands on C and nitrogen (N) stocks in Interior Alaska, using chronosequences, and synthesized results from other studies in the boreal region. Two years after logging, ecosystem C stocks in upland forests were reduced by 11 kg m-2 (46 % of the original ecosystem C stock), mainly as a consequence of stem removal. Soil C and N stocks increased over the first few years after log-ging, but returned to pre-harvest levels during the following decades to century. Studies across the boreal region showe...
