Error in Reference List

In the original publication [1], for the one reference, [31], in Section “References”, the attached online link does not work. This reference, [31], has been corrected and should be read as follows:

31.

The Climate of Latvia. Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre. 2024. Available online: https://videscentrs.lvgmc.lv/lapas/latvijas-klimats (accessed on 6 December 2024).

This reference should be deleted as it has been replaced with a more accurate reference:

66.

Clemmensen, K.E.; Finlay, R.D.; Dahlberg, A.; Stenlid, J.; Wardle, D.A.; Lindahl, B.D. Carbon sequestration is related to mycorrhizal fungal community shifts during long-term succession in boreal forests. New Phytol. 2015, 205, 1525–1536.

Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication in Section 4 “Discussion”, Sub-section “4.2. The Influence of Forest Management”, paragraph 6. In the last paragraph, references were missing in the text (two times word ‘citation’ was left). However, after inserting new references [66–68], minor corrections were made in the text. This also required deleting reference [66]—Clemmensen, K.E.; Finlay, R.D.; Dahlberg, A.; Stenlid, J.; Wardle, D.A.; Lindahl, B.D. Carbon sequestration is related to mycorrhizal fungal community shifts during long-term succession in boreal forests. New Phytol. 2015, 205, 1525–1536. and changing it to 69. Baldrian et al., 2023 and 70. Eisenhauer et al., 2022 in the Section “References”.

Previous studies have observed indicator species associated with old-growth forests [64,66] and suggested that these indicators or key species could facilitate restoration efforts [67,68]. However, it remains largely unresolved how destructive and persistent the effects of current forestry practices are on soil microbial communities, and what strategies may mitigate these impacts. Although several studies have used a chronosequence approach, there is increasing recognition that experimental studies are needed to provide deeper mechanistic insights into ecosystem functioning within forest microbiomes [69,70].
