There was a mistake in Figure 8 as published. The filled and blank dots in red representing pH data and all the alkalinity data in black were missing from the figure. The corrected Figure 8 appears below.

Figure 8

Graph showing pH and total alkalinity (A_T) over time for two fields: BR and open water. pH (red, left y-axis) ranges from 7.0 to 12.0; A_T (black, right y-axis) ranges from 0 to 2500 micromoles per kilogram. Data is plotted for times from 4:30 to 4:30 the following day. Field BR shows a rising and falling trend, whereas open water remains relatively stable.

Time-series changes in carbonate chemistry during beachrock formation. pH (red) and total alkalinity (AT; black) in the natural beachrock (BR; filled circles) and open water (open circles). Measurement errors for AT range from 5 to 10 µmol kg-1.
