A Corrigendum on
Identifying Functional Impacts of Heat-Resistant Fungi on Boreal Forest Recovery After Wildfire

by Day, N. J., Cumming, S. G., Dunfield, K. E., Johnstone, J. F., Mack, M. C., Reid, K. A., et al. (2020). Front. For. Glob. Change 3:68. doi: 10.3389/ffgc.2020.00068

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figures 3 and 4 as published. The labels of fungal taxa on the x-axes were incorrect. The corrected Figures 3 and 4 appears below.

FIGURE 3

Figure 3. Saprotrophic activity of seven heat-resistant fungal taxa, as measured by decomposition rates measured as mass lost of black spruce (white bars) and birch (gray bars) litter over 10 wks incubation in controlled conditions. Results are presented as the mean percent difference for each fungal treatment from the uninoculated control treatment, from 999 bootstrap samples. Values above zero indicate greater decomposition in inoculated samples relative to the control treatment. Asterisks indicate significant effects of inoculation relative to the control treatment based from linear models (**P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; Table S3).

FIGURE 4

Figure 4. Effects of seven heat-resistant fungi on seedling total biomass of black spruce (white bars), birch (gray bars), and jack pine (black bars) in growth chamber experiments over 10 wks. Results are presented as the mean percent difference for each fungal treatment from the uninoculated control treatment, based on 999 bootstraps. Values above zero indicate greater biomass when the fungus was inoculated, relative to the control. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences relative to the control treatment from linear models (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; Table S6).

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.
