Erratum to: J Wood Sci DOI 10.1007/s10086-014-1401-7

After publication of the paper, some errors in calculation were found in Table 2. The changes do not affect the conclusions of the paper.

In the original paper published, the following changes should be made,

  1. 1.

    In the 4th paragraph of “Decomposition kinetics”, the sentence ‘The E a for group I and group II celluloses are, respectively, >70 kJ/mol and in between 50 and 60 kJ/mol’ should be replaced by ‘The E a for group I and group II celluloses are, respectively, >130 and 100 kJ/mol’.

  2. 2.

    The corrected Table 2 is shown here.

    Table 2 The apparent activation energies of various types of crystalline celluloses as treated by semi-flow HCW at 230–270 °C/10 MPa/15 min
