Erratum.

New Phytologist 203 (2014), 851–862.

Since its publication, the authors of Smith et al. (2014) have drawn to our attention errors in Fig. 1 of their article. In panel (b) the data point (asterisk) for mean soil moisture in the common‐garden experiment (Molinia caerulea‐dominated) was not included and an incorrect subheading was used. The correct figure is shown below.

Figure 1

Soil temperature (a) and moisture (b) for spot measurements at the point where individual litterbags were buried under four species swards (Agrostis capillaris, Juncus effusus, Molinia caerulea, Nardus stricta) for the main grazing experiment. All litterbag points are shown as white symbols. Grazing treatments are indicated in the key. Mean soil temperature and moisture for each grazing treatment are shown in corresponding larger grey‐filled symbols. The asterisk is the mean soil temperature and soil moisture in the common‐garden experiment (M. caerulea‐dominated) where litterbags of all four species were buried.

We apologize to our readers for these mistakes.
