Corrigendum: The size-distribution of Earth’s lakes

“Our analysis finds Earth’s lakes are power-law distributed for lakes ≥ 8.5 km2 (Fig. 2). Lakes < 8.5 km2 deviate from the power-law distribution such that there are fewer of these small lakes than expected if small lakes conformed to the same power-law distribution as large lakes. Across the range of lake sizes conforming to a power-law distribution, the tail exponent is τ = 1.97 (+ /− 0.01), close to the predicted value τ = 2.05. The shorelines of these lakes have a fractal dimension d = 1.38 close to the predicted value d = 4/3 (Fig. 3)”.
