Change history
29 May 2014
In the News & Views 'Nutrients trigger carbon storage' (Nature Climate Change 4, 425-426; 2014), the name of the author of the associated Letter was incorrectly stated and it should have read Marcos Fernández-Martínez. This has now been corrected in the online versions after print 29 May 2014.
