We investigate effective noise channels for encoded quantum systems with and without active error correction. Noise acting on physical qubits forming a logical qubit is thereby described as a logical noise channel acting on the logical qubits, which leads to a significant decrease of the effective system dimension. This provides us with a powerful tool to study entanglement features of encoded quantum systems. We demonstrate this framework by calculating lower bounds on the lifetime of distillable entanglement and the negativity for encoded multipartite qubit states with different encodings. At the same time, this approach leads to a simple understanding of the functioning of (concatenated) error correction codes.
