Convergence of terrestrial plant production across global climate gradients (vol 512, pg 39, 2014)

Nature 512, 39–43 (2014); doi:10.1038/nature13470 It has come to our attention that in this Article, while translating the methods of Luo1 (originally written in Chinese), we did not appreciate that plant age (a) and stand biomass (Mtot) had been used to calculate net primary production (NPP). Thus,while the Luo data are appropriate for our analyses that used climate and environmental variables as predictors of NPP, they are not appropriate for those that use plant age and/or stand biomass as independent predictors as in our theoretical model.
