The authors would like to correct the following error found in the Analytical methods and calculations of Wang et al. (2023). We mistakenly presented the calculation equation and unit expression of cellulose and lignin mass losses in decaying logs. The correct calculation equation and unit expression were exhibited as follows:

$$ Mass \, loss \, = \, \left( {Concentration_{2013} \times Density_{2013} - Concentration_{2017} \times Density_{2017} } \right) \, \times \, 10 $$

where mass loss (mg cm⁻³) is the cellulose or lignin mass losses in decaying logs after the decomposition of four years; Concentration₂₀₁₃ and Concentration₂₀₁₇ are the cellulose or lignin concentrations (%) of decaying logs in 2013 and 2017, respectively; Density₂₀₁₃ and Density₂₀₁₇ are the density (g cm⁻³) of decaying logs in 2013 and 2017, respectively; and 10 is the conversion coefficient of the unit. The original article has been corrected.
