Erratum: An active atmospheric methane sink in high Arctic mineral cryosols

Correction to: The ISME Journal (2015) 9, 1880–1891; doi:10.1038/ismej.2015.13; published online 14 April 2015

Since the publication of this article, the authors have identified an error in the reported values for CH₄ oxidation rates calculated from the microcosm experiment (Table 1), which also affected the reported Q₁₀ values (on page 7 and Figure 3):

At 66% and 100% saturations, the Q₁₀ values fell within the range of 1.3–2.9 values previously reported from incubation experiments carried out at atmospheric or elevated CH₄ concentrations (Figure 3). In contrast, the Q₁₀ value was 8 at 33% saturation (Figure 3).

The revised text is:

At 100% saturations, the Q₁₀ values fell within the range of 1.3–2.9 values previously reported from incubation experiments carried out at atmospheric or elevated CH₄ concentrations (Figure 3). In contrast, the Q₁₀ value was 6 at 33% and 66% saturations (Figure 3).

Table 1 and Figure 3 have been amended to reflect these changes.

The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
