Correction: Branca, G., et al. Forest Protection Unifies, Silviculture Divides: A Sociological Analysis of Local Stakeholders’ Voices after Coppicing in the Marganai Forest (Sardinia, Italy). Forests 2020, 11, 708

We have recently been made aware by the Forests Editorial Offices of some errors and omissions in the Introduction Section 1.1.2 of our recent paper [1]. The authors wish to make the following corrections:

1. The fifth paragraph of said Introduction Section 1.1.2 currently reads as follows:

In the same period, the professionals involved in the renewal of the plan for the Margani SCI expressed very strong concerns about the activation of coppice practices in the Marganai area. During the third participatory meeting, held in Iglesias in 2014, the professionals involved in this SCI’s planned renewal denounced the high risk of erosive phenomena triggered by such a silvicultural operation [21]. However, [22] questioned their results, showing that their data did not support their interpretation of the facts.

To clarify this from a scientific standpoint, we would like to make the following corrections:

In the same period, the professionals involved in the renewal of the plan for the Margani SCI expressed very strong concerns about the activation of coppice practices in the Marganai area [21]. During the participatory meeting, held in the Iglesias area in 2014, the professionals denounced the high risk of erosive phenomena triggered by such silvicultural operations [22]. However, Giadrossich et al. questioned the hypothesis of such risks in the Marganai forest [23].
