We evaluated the carbon (C) storage and soil CO2 efflux rates of red pine (Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) stands damaged by pine wilt disease (PWD) in Korea. Ten red pine plots at varying degrees of damage from PWD were established and grouped into five categories (very slightly, slightly, moderately, severely, and very severely damaged plots) based on differences in the tree density. The incidence of PWD was a major cause of C loss from forest ecosystems, but the magnitude of loss depended on the severity of disease damage. An exponential regression of the CO2 efflux rates against the corresponding soil temperature was highly significant (R2 = 0.82–0.95, P < 0.01) for the varying degrees of damage from PWD. The rates of change in the CO2 efflux rates with temperature, as defined by the Q10 values, were generally lower in the slightly (2.94) versus the moderately (3.60) or severely (4.26) PWD-damaged stands. The cumulative soil CO2–C efflux rates for two years were significantly higher in the slightly (10.8 Mg C ha− 1 yr− 1) or moderately (10.9 Mg C ha− 1 yr− 1) versus the very severely (7.9 Mg C ha− 1 yr− 1) PWD-damaged stands. The results indicate that the C storage and soil CO2 efflux rates in red pine stands can be impacted by the incidence of PWD, with a significant C reduction in the severely damaged stands.
► The first report on the estimation of carbon storage at varying degrees of damage due to pine wilt disease.
► Soil CO2 efflux rates were measured at varying degrees of damage due to pine wilt disease.
► We evaluated the relationship between soil CO2 efflux and soil environmental factors due to pine wilt disease.
