The original HTML version of this Article contained formatting errors in the “Gravimetric water (ice) content (%)” row. The correct Table appears below.

Table 1. Physical-chemical parameters of the permafrost cores.

  Zackenberg Adventdalen 1 Adventdalen 2
pH 6.7 5.1 6.8
Total C (%) 2.4 ± 0.001 4.5 ± 0.061 2.24
Total N (%) 0.16 ± 0.013 0.33 ± 0.004 0.14
DOC (mg L−1) 16.0 ± 0.67 12.7 ± 0.24 60.3
NH4+ (mg L−1) 18.9 ± 6.4 1.5 ± 0.42 5.1
NO3− (mg L−1) 46.3 ± 0.4 0.11 ± 0.021 0.202
Gravimetric water (ice) content (%) 27.4 44.1 59.5
Soil texture (% of clay (<2 μm); silt (2–63 μm); sand (>63 μm)) 7.6; 74.4; 18.0 5.5; 47.6; 46.9 4.1; 68.4; 27.5

The ± symbols indicate standard error of the mean, n = 3. Numbers without ± are measurements on a single replicate, n = 1, because too little soil was obtained to perform measurements on triplicates.

This error has been corrected in the HTML version of the Article; the PDF version was correct at the time of publication.
