Relationships between soil organic C and N fractions, and between crop residue C input and soil organic C or N fractions

Under above subheading, the first sentence in the second paragraph should read as “The cumulative crop residue C inputs for the ZTSRem0, ZTSRet0, ZTSRet50, ZTSRet100, CTSRem0, CTSRet0, CTSRet50 and CTSRet100, respectively, were 2.822, 10.491, 26.886, 27.899, 3.198, 11.674, 29.056 and 32.468 Mg C ha−1 for the growing seasons from 1980 to 1998 (19 years), and 4.379, 17.550, 42.361, 43.949, 5.221, 19.545, 44.960 and 51.891 Mg C ha−1 from 1980 to 2006 (27 years)”.

In Table 8, the correlation coefficients between crop residue C input and soil organic C or N fractions for the period 1980–1998 should read as 0.824*, 0.847**, 0.876**, 0.915**, 0.808*, 0.838*, 0.435ns, 0.778* and 0.590ns, respectively, for TOC, TON, LFOC, LFON, MOM-C, MOM-N, MB-C, Cmin and Nmin. The corresponding values for the period 1980–2006 should read as 0.845**, 0.864**, 0.772* and 0.741*, respectively, for TOC, TON, LFOC and LFON.

Table 9 should read as follows:

Table 9 Linear regressions for relationships between crop residue or crop residue C input from 1980 to 1998 or 2006 growing seasons and soil organic C or N (TOC, TON, LFOC, LFON, MOM-C, MOM-N, MB-C, mineralizable C [Cmin] and mineralizable N [Nmin]) stored in soil sampled in autumn 1998 and in spring 2007 at Breton, Alberta, Canada (Gray Luvisol soil, experiment established in autumn, 1979)
