In figure 3(a), the part of the legend explaining the difference between solid and hatched bars was missing. In figure 5, the second time interval should be 1987–2000 (not 1986–2000). The two figures with their complete and correct legend are shown below.

Figure 3.

Figure 3. Net land use displacement (land embodied in imports minus land embodied in exports) associated with trade of (a) both agricultural and wood products and, (b) the selected agricultural products, over 1965–2013. The countries represented on the figure (a) account together for more than 85% of total land use displacement in most years of the study period. Others include countries from the different regions.

In table 1, the formatting of numbers was changed to facilitate reading. The layout was also modified to highlight that total land demand/released is the sum of the three terms of accumulated land demand (RF, CS, EP), and the sum of the three terms of accumulated land released (IP, IT, RD). The modified table is shown below.

Table 1.  Estimates of the terms of equation (1).

  Accumulated land demand for Total land demand/released Accumulated land released through
  RF CS EP   IP IT RD
Accumulated area (ha.yr) 14 427 636 21 471 024 9 266 965 45 165 625 10 977 361 34 188 264

RF: net reforestation. CS: growing consumption of agricultural products. EP: growing exports of agricultural products. IP: growing imports of agricultural products. IT: intensification of agriculture. RD: redistribution of agricultural land.
