The authors note that some unclear descriptions were made during publication of this paper. The corrected sections are clarified below. The authors declare that the results and conclusions of this paper were unaffected by the corrections. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. Section 2.2, paragraph 1 This paragraph should be replaced by the following: “Based on our previous report (Hu et al. 2015), the revegetation approach using transplanted soil cores containing corms of S. mariqueter on the tidal flats is more successful than that with seed-planting and seedling-planting approaches. In April of 2014, three levels of planting densities were applied in the mud-dominated site (M): low – one soil core per 1 m², medium – two soil cores per 1 m² and high – four soil cores per 1 m². Revegetation area of 20 m × 20 m at the M site for each treatment of planting density was set up at the bare mudflat (Hu et al. 2015). In November of 2014, the high density planting (four soil cores per 1 m²) was applied at the silt-dominated site (S) with area of 5 m × 5 m. The stainless-steel tubes (inner diameter of 7.5 cm) were used to dig the intact soil cores (depth of 15 cm) from the original S. mariqueter communities as the planting material. There were on average 15 corms in these transplanted soil cores that were used for revegetation practice. The planting approach and the two sites (Fig. 1) with different sediment properties were used as the experimental design for the research presented here into SOC and SN.” Section 2.4, paragraph 2, sentences 2 This should be replaced by: “In December of 2016, the plant and soil materials in the S-Y_H plot were further sampled with the same method for the biomass and stocks of SOC and SN. However, at that time the plot was totally occupied by the expansion of surrounding Scirpus plants. In order to avoid the uncertainty due to mixture of recently restored and newly expanding plants, the data were not included in this study.”
