Summary
This correction amends a previously published global meta-analysis synthesising cover crop impacts on soil organic carbon dynamics in cropland systems. The amendment corrects numerical reporting errors in effect sizes describing cover crop effects on specific soil carbon pools and adjusts a regression visualization. Such corrections maintain the scientific integrity of systematic syntheses that underpin soil health and carbon sequestration practice.
Regional applicability
The corrected meta-analysis provides evidence relevant to UK arable farming policy and practice on cover crop deployment for soil carbon management. The global synthesis allows contextualisation of UK-specific cover crop responses within broader agronomic and climatic variation.
Key measures
Log response ratio (lnR) and percentage change in soil organic carbon pools; regression relationships between cover crop characteristics and carbon outcomes
Outcomes reported
This correction addresses quantitative errors in the reporting of effect sizes for cover crop impacts on soil organic carbon across multiple pools. Corrected values include adjustments to percentage changes and log response ratios (lnR) in key findings, and correction of a regression line position in a figure.
