The original version of this Article contained typographical errors. In the Abstract,
“We found that grazing reduced the daily maximum net photosynthetic rate and soil respiration rates by 35% and 15%, respectively”.
now reads:
“We found that grazing reduced the daily maximum net photosynthetic rate and increased soil respiration rates by 35% and 15%, respectively”.
In the Results section under sub-heading ‘Soil respiration’,
“The soil respiration (Sr) increased with time during the day while soil temperature peaked during midday in both ungrazed and grazed plots (Fig. 3). Sr in ungrazed plots was higher than that of grazed plots between 13:00 and 16:00 hours. The mean value of Sr in ungrazed plots (8.01 ± 2.09 μ mol CO2/m2/s) was significantly higher than in ungrazed plots (6.77 ± 1.58 μ mol CO2/m2/s) (p = 0.017), while the mean values of soil temperature were significantly higher in the grazed than ungrazed plots (p = 0.023)”.

These errors have now been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
