2. Text Correction
There was a typing error in the original article in Section 3.1.1 (second paragraph, lines 9–12). In accordance with the correction to Table 6, the correct text is as follows:
A comparison of these 11 cities shows that the average ER of Shenzhen, Foshan, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Dongguan, Zhaoqing and Zhuhai exceeded 15%, particularly Dongguan, Zhongshan, and Zhuhai (greater than 20%). Moreover, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan and Dongguan, with a relatively large average AI, exceeded 23 km2, and the other cities were less than 20 km2.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original publication has also been updated.
