Correction to: Carbon Balance Manage (2021) 16:32 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13021-021-00195-2

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported errors in the reference citation.

Due to a mistake during the editing process, in the reference numbering of the cited literature, all references from the sentence "Different studies use the visible region considering that soils with higher carbon content have a darker appearance [63] " on page 5 onward refer to the reference number with 1 index number higher.

So [63] refers to the reference [64], this continues until the last reference cited in the text [112] which refers to the listed reference [113]:

[63] → [64].

[112] → [113].
