Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication. The values of emission should be expressed as nmol m−2 s−1 (nanomole m−2 s−1), instead of µmol m−2 s−1 (micromole per square meter and second). A correction has been made to: 2. Materials and Methods, 2.2. VOC Sampling Method.
The VOC emission rates are referred to as the units of surface area (nmol m−2 s−1).

Error in Figure

In the original publication, there was a mistake in Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 8 and Figure 9. After publication and continuing with our line of research, the authors have pointed out a mistake in the y-axis of the Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 8 and Figure 9. In the published version, the values of emission should be expressed as nmol m−2 s−1 (nanomole m−2 s−1), instead of µmol m−2 s−1 (micromole per square meter and second). The corrected figures appear below. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
