Addition of References Citations

In the original publication [1], references number 30–32 were not cited. The citation has now been inserted in Section 2.4 “Bulk and Rhizosphere Soil Analysis”, the first paragraph, and should read as follows:

The soil samples were air-dried at room temperature and passed through a 2 mm mesh sieve to remove debris. Total carbon (C_t) and total nitrogen (N_t) were determined using Elementar Vario CNS analyser (Elementar Analysensysteme GmbH, Langenselbold, Germany). The calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) content of the soil was determined by the volumetric method using a Scheibler apparatus [30]. Total inorganic carbon (TIC) was calculated from the calcium carbonate content. Total organic carbon (TOC) was calculated as the difference between TC and TIC. Bio-available phosphorus (P_ca) was determined colorimetrically by the citrate method using a Rayleigh UV-1601 spectrophotometer (Beifen-Ruili Analytical Instrument Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) [31]. The saturated paste extracts were prepared according to the methodology of van Reeuwijk [31]. The pH (CaCl₂) was measured potentiometrically using a CP-551 Elmetron pH meter. Electrical conductivity (EC) was determined at 25 °C using the conductometric method with a CPC-401 conductivity meter (Elmetron Ltd., Zabrze, Poland). The concentrations of Mg and Ca were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), while the concentrations of K and Na were determined by optical emission spectrometry (OES) using a SOLAAR Unicam 969 (Unicam Ltd., Cambridge, UK) flame spectrometer. The concentration of bicarbonates (HCO₃⁻) was determined by titration with 0.1 M HCl [32].

In addition, references citations [29,30] should be changed into [33,34] in Section 4. With this correction, the order of some references in Section 4 has been adjusted accordingly. References 52–55 should also be added as outlined below.
