In the recent IJB article "Risk of spring frost to apple production under future climate scenarios: the role of phenological acclimation" by Eccel et al. (2009), the text contains a reference to the work of Gu et al. (2008) being "emotionally prompted." To clarify that the authors are not questioning the validity of Gu et al.'s work, the Editorial Board and authors agree that the word "partially" should replace "emotionally" within this text.
