The original publication of this paper contains mistakes in Fig. 3 and in the captions of Fig. 3, Fig. S1 and Fig. S2. In Fig. 3 the values on the y axis appear wrong. The captions of Fig. 3 and Figs. S1-S2 incorrectly include a headwater stream category with a mixture of forest and mire in the catchments. The mentioning of this “mixed” headwater category should be ignored because it is not represented in the figures.

The correct Fig. 3 is shown in this paper.

The DOC degradation rate per unit irradiation energy absorbed (PD-Ew) variation in forest headwater streams (n = 20) mire headwater streams (n = 8), lakes (n = 23), intermediate rivers (n = 4) and river mouths (n = 10). Outliers were removed for clarity of the plot. Lack of shared letters indicate significant (2-tail p < 0.05) difference between the different aquatic ecosystems
