Removal of an Author
Prof. Dr. Yanjun Guo was included as an author in the original publication [1]. He was not involved in the revision stage of the manuscript due to a miscommunication that occurred during the preparation and submission process, which coincided with overlapping collaborative commitments among the contributing researchers.
In accordance with internationally recognized authorship criteria and institutional guidelines, Prof. Dr. Guo has determined that his contribution, which was limited to advisory input during the experimental phase, does not meet the requirements for authorship. He has therefore requested that his name be removed from the author list.
Additionally, the correspondence has been moved to the first author Luhua Yao.
The corrected Author Contributions statement appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
Removal of an Affiliation
The affiliation of Prof. Dr. Yanjun Gao, listed in the original publication as affiliation number 2, College of Grassland Science, Qingdao Agricultural University, Qingdao 266109, China, has also been removed from the original publication accordingly.
