Author Correction: End-Permian extinction amplified by plume-induced release of recycled lithospheric volatiles

Correction to: Nature Geoscience https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-018-0215-4, published online 27 August 2018.

In the version of this Article originally published, the authors concentration of Cl, Br and I in the Siberian SCLM were incorrectly reported as ‘0.6–1.5×10¹⁹, 1.6–2.7 × 10¹⁷ and 0.5–1.1 × 10¹⁴ kg’, respectively; the correct values are ‘0.6–1.5 × 10¹⁷, 1.6–2.7 × 10¹⁵ and 0.5–1.1 × 10¹³ kg’ of Cl, Br and I, respectively. The partition coefficient of Cl was also incorrectly stated as ‘1.5 × 10^–2’; the correct value is 1.6 × 10^–1. In addition, the mass of SCLM in Supplementary Table 1 was incorrectly stated as ‘2.1 × 10²¹ kg’; the correct mass is 3.6 × 10²⁰ kg. This has now been amended. The correct values were used for all subsequent calculations throughout the manuscript and therefore these changes have no influence on the original conclusion of the Article. In addition, in Fig. 2a, some data points for crushing Obnazhennaya xenoliths (open red circles) were missing. The figure has now been amended.
