## A Corrigendum on

### 14,000-Year Carbon Accumulation Dynamics in a Siberian Lake Reveal Catchment and Lake Productivity Changes

by Hughes-Allen, L., Bouchard, F., Hatté, C., Meyer, H., Pestryakova, L. A., Diekmann, B., Subetto, D. A., and Biskaborn, B. K. (2021). Front. Earth Sci. 9:710257. doi: 10.3389/feart.2021.710257

In the original article, there was a mistake in **Figure 2** as published. There was an error in the calculation of mass accumulation rate (MAR) and organic carbon accumulation rate (OCAR). There was also a mistake in **Figure 5** as published. There was an error in the calculation of OCAR (gOC m²/yr). The corrected **Figures 2** and **5** appear below.

In the original article, there were also multiple errors in the text. Corrections are made to the below listed sections. There was an error in the calculations of MAR and OCAR. A correction has been made to **Section 4 Results**, **Sub-section 4.1 Chronology and sedimentation rates**, **Paragraph 1**:

> "Considering the dry bulk density (DBD) of each sample, instantaneous sediment mass accumulation rates (MARs) range from 0.02 g cm⁻² a⁻¹ above 300 cm depth to 0.06 g cm⁻² a⁻¹ near the bottom of the core. Considering each unit separately, average MAR values are 0.05 g cm⁻² a⁻¹ for Unit 1, 0.03 g cm⁻² a⁻¹ for Unit 2, and 0.02 g cm⁻² a⁻¹ for Unit 3. Average OCAR is similar in Unit 1 (57 g m⁻² a⁻¹) and Unit 3 (55 g m⁻² a⁻¹) and highest in Unit 2 (77 g m⁻² a⁻¹)."

A further correction has been made to **Section 4 Results**, **Sub-section 4.4 Biogeochemistry**, **Paragraph 1**:

> "OCAR, controlled by both TOC and MAR, experiences two low peaks (~20 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹) at 600 cm depth and 500 cm depth. OCAR decreases throughout Unit 1 from approximately 100 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹–24 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹. Apart from the low peak at 500 cm depth, OCAR increases relatively steadily throughout Unit 2. There is a high peak of 127 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹ at 438 cm depth. OCAR then decreases into Unit 3 where it stabilizes around 50 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹ from approximately 300 cm depth."

A correction has been made to **Section 5 Discussion**, **Sub-section 5.1 Multiproxy-inferred paleolimnological history**, **Paragraph 1**:

> "Decreasing TOC and MAR values, resulted in decreasing OCAR values throughout this Unit culminating in a low peak at 600 cm depth (Figure 2, Figure 5)."

**FIGURE 5** | Organic carbon accumulation rate (OCAR, in g OC m⁻² a⁻¹) for each biogeochemical subsample along the core (see Figure 4), inferred from the age-depth model, as well as sedimentation and mass accumulation rates (see Figure 2).

A correction has been made to **Section 5 Discussion, Sub-section 5.1 Multiproxy-inferred paleolimnological history, Paragraph 6:**

"Sedimentation experienced an initial decrease in the bottom half of Unit 2 (MAR decreasing from 0.03 g cm⁻² a⁻¹ bottom of Unit 2 to 0.006 g cm⁻² a⁻¹ at 500 cm depth), before gradually increasing to 0.04 g cm⁻² a⁻¹ cm at 450 cm depth (Figure 2). MAR then decreases slightly until about 300 cm depth, where it stabilizes until the top of the core. OC delivery was high during the Early Holocene (average OCAR 83 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹ above 500 cm of composite depth, i.e., after ~11 cal kBP until about 300 cm depth, i.e., 7.9 cal kBP). Such rates are clearly well above the reported values for high-latitude lake basins and notably higher than global modern values (Vyse et al., 2021 and references therein)."

A correction has been made to **Section 5 Discussion, Sub-section 5.1 Multiproxy-inferred paleolimnological history, Paragraph 12:**

"OC delivery decreased after 7.9 cal kBP, as shown by an average OCAR of 55 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹ for Unit 3. This was the result of a lower sedimentation (average MAR decreasing from ~0.02 g cm⁻² a⁻¹ at the top of Unit 2 to ~0.01 g cm⁻² a⁻¹ in the upper section of Unit 3). Still, OCAR values of 55 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹ are notably in the upper range of global modern values and significantly higher than elsewhere across high-latitude regions (Vyse et al., 2021; Figure 8)."

A correction has been made to **Section 5 Discussion, Sub-section 5.2 Lake Malaya Chabyda carbon accumulation rates, Paragraph 2:**

"Moreover, the inferred OCARs for Unit 1 indeed represent low values compared to Unit 2, with an average of ~100 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹ (ranging from 24 to 105 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹; Figure 5)."
A correction has been made to **Section 5 Discussion, Sub-section 5.2 Lake Malaya Chabyda carbon accumulation rates, Paragraph 3:**

"Furthermore, inferred OCARs for Unit 2 show a strong increase from the base (42 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹) to the top (76 g OC m⁻² a⁻¹) of this unit, in accordance with developing lacustrine conditions and enhanced biological productivity from algae (i.e., mostly autochthonous source of OM)."

Finally, a correction has been made to **Section 5 Discussion, Sub-section 5.2 Lake Malaya Chabyda carbon accumulation rates, Paragraph 6:**

"Decreasing MAR combined with low and decreasing TOC resulted in decreasing OCAR values within Unit 1 with a low peak at the top of this unit (Figure 2C; Figure 5)."
