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 (Ct) and total nitrogen (Nt) 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 (Pca) 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.
