A Correction on
Back to the future: restoring northern drained forested peatlands for climate change mitigation

by Escobar D, Belyazid S and Manzoni S (2022). Front. Environ. Sci. 10:834371. doi: 10.3389/fenvs.2022.834371

In the published article, there was an error in Figures 2, 6 as published. In Figure 2, the arrow going from “Mineral Nutrient Content” to “Plant Nutrient Uptake” was red with a minus sign; it should be blue with a plus. Similarly, the arrow going from “Plant Nutrient Uptake” to “Mineral Nutrient Uptake” was blue with a plus sign; it should be red with a minus. In Figure 6, the arrow going from “Soil Water” to “Soil Oxygen” was blue with a plus sign; it should be red with a minus.

Figure 2
Diagram illustrating ecological processes with interconnected elements. Red and blue arrows indicate negative and positive influences, respectively, between components like lateral water outflow, mineral nutrient content, soil organic matter content, plant nutrient uptake, photosynthesis, soil water content, soil oxygen content, root respiration, plant growth, and plant biomass.

Figure 2. Causal loop diagram of the main effects of water table management on plant biomass and litterfall. An arrow with a plus sign (blue) indicates a change in the variable affected that is in the same direction as the change in the driving variable, an arrow with a minus sign (red) indicates a change in variable affected that is in the opposite direction as the change in the driving variable.

Figure 6
Diagram illustrating the relationships between factors affecting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in soil. Blue arrows indicate positive effects, while red arrows indicate negative effects. Key elements include plant-mediated transport, soil oxygen, soil water, air pressure, and their influence on GHG in soil, diffusion, mass flow, and soil porosity, connected to GHG emissions. Factors such as soil tortuosity, plant tissue connectivity, and soil pore connectivity are also shown as contributing variables.

Figure 6. Causal loop diagram of the main effects of water table management in carbon mineralization pathways. An arrow with a plus sign (blue) indicates a change in the variable affected that is in the same direction as the change in the driving variable, an arrow with a minus sign (red) indicates a change in variable affected that is in the opposite direction as the change in the driving variable.

The corrected Figure 2 and Figure 6 and their captions appear below.
