Except for fescue, the values in the right hand column of Table 1 (CT fr ext) were incorrectly assigned by species. The correction (below) does not affect the relevant text but allows readers to generate correct values of extractable and residual tannins in each sample.

Table 1 Concentrations of C, N, condensed tannins (CT, extractable plus insoluble) and total phenolics (TP), their corresponding percent remaining (% REM), δ13C values and fraction of CT that is extractable (fr ext) for starting litters and PA (proximate analysis) residue
