After the publication of ‘Salt-Marsh Foraminiferal Distributions from Mainland Northern Georgia, USA: An Assessment of Their Viability for Sea-Level Studies.’ (Chen et al 2020) the authors contacted the publisher, because they realised that two of the figures in the original publication had errors.
Specifically, Figures 7 and 8 contained incorrectly labelled scales. The depth unit was listed as metres, when it should have been centimetres. The two figures are reproduced below with the correct scales.
The live and dead assemblage density and numbers for most representative species plotted by core depth from Thunderbolt marsh. Core TB-1-1 (Elevation: –0.05 m MTL), TB-1-22 (Elevation: 1.16 m MTL), TB-1-24 (Elevation: 1.19 m MTL).
The live and dead assemblage density and numbers for most representative species plotted by core depth from Georgetown marsh. Core GT-2-4 (Elevation: 0.97 m MTL), Core GT-2-5 (Elevation: 0.91 m MTL), Core GT-2-10 (Elevation: 0.69 m MTL).
The authors have no competing interests to declare.
