A Corrigendum on
Shorebirds Affect Ecosystem Functioning on an Intertidal Mudflat

by Booty, J. M., Underwood, G. J. C., Parris, A., Davies, R. G., and Tolhurst, T. J. (2020). Front. Mar. Sci. 7:685. doi: 10.3389/fmars.2020.00685

In the original article, there was a mistake in the legend for Table 2 as published. Estimated bird days are presented as total for the survey area, not per hectare. The correct legend appears below.

Table 2. Bird-days estimated for each species recorded foraging within the survey area between the 20th of January and the 3rd of April 2017 on the mudflat adjacent to Geedon Saltings at Fingringhoe Wick Essex Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, Essex, United Kingdom (grid reference TM 05065 19030).

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.

Keywords: shorebirds, ecosystem function, microphytobenthos biofilm, sediment erosion, nutrient flux
