Correction for Yi et al., Underestimated input of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon to the ocean
Abstract
Correction for “Underestimated input of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon to the ocean,” by Yuanbi Yi, Andrew J. Tanentzap, Chen He, Julian Merder, Helena Osterholz, Hongyan Bao, Jefrey A. Hawkes, Ruanhong Cai, Si-Liang Li, Quan Shi, Sheng Xu, Chuanlun Zhang, Cong-Qiang Liu, Meixun Zhao, and Ding He, which published November 3, 2025; 10.1073/pnas.2505838122 (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 122, e2505838122). Te authors note that two references were omitted from the article. “We integrated two previously published datasets of dissolved organic matter as part of our global compilation. Te corresponding research articles were cited in the manuscript as refs. 44 and 45, but the direct data sources were not cited. Specifcally, the datasets hosted at https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.962747 and https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.840595 were used in our analysis and are licensed under CC-BY-3.0 and CC-BY-4.0, respectively. Tese dataset citations were inadvertently omitted from the publication. Tis omission concerns attribution only and does not afect any results, fgures, tables, or conclusions.” Te PANGAEA datasets have now been cited as refs. 45 and 47. A citation to the new ref. 45 should be included on page 3, right column, where the reference callout “(38, 43, 44)” should instead appear as “(38, 43–45).” A citation to the new ref. 47 should be included on page 4, right column, line 14, where “(45)” should instead appear as “(46, 47).” Te authors note that the following statement should be added to the Acknowledgments: “We also thank T. Dittmar, A. Kellerman, and R. Spencer for generously sharing their published datasets, which were essential for the global synthesis in this study.” Te online version has been corrected.
