A Corrigendum on:
Impact of drought on soil microbial biomass and extracellular enzyme activity

By Qu Q, Wang Z, Gan Q, Liu R and Xu H (2023) Front. Plant Sci. 14:1221288. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1221288

Text Correction

In the published article, there was an error. In the published article, there was a mistake in the formula. The formula was displayed as “SD =√SE”. The correct statement is “SD=SEN”.

A correction has been made to 2 Materials and methods, 2.1 Data collection. This sentence previously stated:

“If no standard deviation was reported, it was calculated using the standard error (SE) as follows: SD =√SE (Fu et al., 2015).”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“If no standard deviation was reported, it was calculated using the standard error (SE) as follows: SD=SEN (Fu et al., 2015).”

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
