Correction: Vo, T.B.T., et al. Methane Emission Factors from Vietnamese Rice Production: Pooling Data of 36 Field Sites for Meta-analysis. Climate 2020, 8, 74

The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]:

Change in main body paragraphs (see below):

The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by these changes.

1. Change in Main Body Paragraphs

The authors are sorry to report that on page 17 [1], the unit of CH₄ emissions is given in [kg ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹] but should be in [kg ha⁻¹ season⁻¹]. This mistake also has implications on the conclusion on page 16 that “The new data also exceeds the EFs previously used by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) and account for approximately 150% of those values.” Consequently, the authors wish to make the following corrections to the paper:

(1) Correct the units used on page 17 to [kg ha⁻¹ season⁻¹], i.e., “As of now, Vietnam’s GHG inventories have been based on IPCC Tier 2 guidelines using EFs derived from a capacity development program in 2014 [34], namely CH₄ emissions of 375 kg ha⁻¹ season⁻¹ in the North region, 336 in the Central region and 217 in the South region of Vietnam.”

(2) Correct the conclusion on page 16 to “The new data is similar to the EFs previously used by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) in the Central region, slightly lower in the North region and much higher in the South region.”

2. There are Two Additional Mistakes in This Article

(1) On page 4, the model number of the gas chromatograph used is stated as “(GC: SRI 861 oC)” but should be “(GC: SRI 8610C)” in two instances on the same page.

(2) On page 14, the formula (2) is given as “EF_i—EF_c · SF_w · SF_p · SF_o · SF_s · SF_v”, but should be “EFi = EF_c · SF_w · SF_p · SF_o · SF_s · SF_v”.

These changes have no material impact on the conclusions of our paper. We apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers.
