Permafrost Carbon Study Gets Funding Correction, Highlights Research Transparency
A major permafrost study examining how grazing animals affect Arctic carbon storage has issued a correction to properly credit funding sources. The update underscores how accurately attributing research support matters for tracking climate science investments and ensuring accountability in high-stakes environmental research.

Correction on: Windirsch T, Grosse G, Ulrich M, Forbes BC, Göckede M, Wolter J, Macias-Fauria M, Olofsson J, Zimov N and Strauss J (2022) Large herbivores on permafrost-a pilot study of grazing impacts on permafrost soil carbon storage in northeastern Siberia. Front. Environ. Sci. 10:893478. doi: 10.3389/fenvs.2022.893478 In the published article, there was a mistake in the Funding statement. The funding statement for Juliane Wolter is missing but should have been included. The full correct funding statement is "The field campaign was carried out in the framework of the CACOON (Changing Arctic Carbon Cycle in the Coastal Ocean Near-Shore) project (#03F0806A (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research)) and as part of the PeCHEc (Permafrost Carbon Stabilization by Recreating a Herbivore-Driven Ecosystem) project funded by the Potsdam Graduate School. The authors received additional support from the Geo.X research network (SO_087_GeoX). Additional funding was provided by the CHARTER (Drivers and Feedbacks of Changes in Arctic Terrestrial Biodiversity) project (grant agreement ID 869471). JW was supported by DFG grant no. WO 2420/2-1. We further acknowledge base funding provided by the Alfred Wegener Institute expedition funds, as well as support by the Open Access Publication Funds of Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar-und Meeresforschung.''
